WATCH: A YouTuber gets that much closer to perfection with an incredible flop shot

The flop shot is a daring option for those who avoid the bump and run or Texas wedge from the greenside – and when it takes off you can see why.

Is there anything more theatrical that the average golfer can do but try the flop shot.

One man got too close for the flop to shoot immortality and see it crack the hole and roll beyond him.

The flop shot is optional on the greenside, but practice makes perfect.

Acclaimed coach Jamie Mulligan says bumping and running is always a one-percent option.

“A lot of good students and advanced beginners use a simple bump and run instead, understanding that it gives them more bite of the apple,” Mulligan told Golf.com.

“This type of shot not only helps your short game work better on the greens, but it’s also versatile enough to play on different lies. And, when used correctly, bump and run helps many different parts of your game – including positioning, ball control and speed.

“The two players I train, Patrick Cantlay and Nelly Korda, are among the best in hitting this type of shots. So it’s no surprise that both Cantlay and Korda have moved closer to the lead in Strokes Gained: Around the Greens over the past few years. Both use a bump and work efficiently.

“If they hit 10 shots with their lob wedge and then another 10 with their bump and run, the dispersion from the last one will always be close.

“Additionally, something about the progression of the shot (when hit correctly) is helpful for all levels of golfers. By having the shaft slightly in front of the ball, you are able to squeeze the ball and make the contact you want on the green.

“So stop flopping from the greens and start using the bump and a lot of running. It can be a secret weapon that helps unlock better results and better swing fundamentals with almost every club in your bag.”
