Here's How to Hit a Flop Shot Like Phil Mickelson


Published: March 2, 2026

Near the green but have very little green to work with?

No problem.

In this video, I'll show you how to hit a flop shot like elite players on tour — a high-risk, high-reward short game weapon that can save par from nearly impossible positions.

You'll find out:

  • How to shallow out your swing path for a clean hit under the ball,
  • What not to do with your spine angle so you don't blade it across the green, and
  • Why you need to be aggressive with the flop shot and fully commit to the lead side follow-through.

The flop shot demands precise club face control, the right ball position, and a confident, accelerating swing through impact. The same motor patterns that power elite short game technique are built through structured repetition — check out the GOAT Drill system to train your body to move the right way. And use an AI swing analyzer to verify your attack angle and body rotation are supporting your greenside performance.
