    SweetiePie:

    It all depends upon where you are playing, the distance, the lie, the green speed, the break, etc. To rely only on the flop is stupid except for the inexperienced player. The wonders of an extremely supurb short game requires the mastery of the punch, pitch, chip & flop and knowing when, where and which to choose.

    I have to respectfully disagree with you SweetiePie. While I am far from the best player here, I've been playing for about 18 months now, and on probably 90%+ of shots inside 35 yards, I use the flop. I will admit that this is probably waaaaay too high of a percentage, but considering that I have holed out 195 flops for birdie or better, and that even when I miss I am usually within 3 feet of the cup, i am going to stick with the old standby of if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    I'm curious if anyone knows how far 100% flop shot can go with the Cleveland 64 out of 30/40 and 40/50? thx

    40/50 rough.... I use the 8yrd rule....   eg...  9yrds from pin... click 17 on the meter.

    This is using Nikes and clicking the line before the ding with full b/spin

    30/40 is a bit less than that.

    this all depends on up/downhill to the pin

    BPB1 has both of those roughs around the green. Why not just go there and find out for yourself? I'd bet you figure it out in less than the 10 shots you get there. Just a guess.

    Up to about about 25 yds i only use flop , longer shot i use full swing ,

    click on line before ding works best .
