    Just played a round on PB and played 2 x flop shots,] and both came up WAAAAAAY short. 33 yard shot only went 24 yards and a 29 yard shot only went 18 yards. Fairly sure it wasn't me, but I was not paying close attention. Just found it very strange. thanks

    Maybe the game is trying to tell you to learn the punch and pitch shots. :-)

    Was it from fairly level fairway?

    Wind effects? (And FWIW, I love a flop shot, but never go over 26 yards with my 75 wedge. Mostly use the 16 yarder with my 50 wedge. I also think pitching for over 30 has drawbacks and have leaned toward using partial 50 FULL for those.)

    Maybe the op hit it fat? ;-)

    off to try some flops. >brb<



    Distances seemed normal to me, don't flop often but wasn't getting the numbers reported by the OP.



    However, the 33yd flop according to the OP was either a Pitch shot or he meant 38 yds and not 33. Just a hunch.

    That's what the punch is for.

    Most likely you hit your scroll wheel changing your club to the 64 degree Cleveland wedge. That wedge flops to 20 yards and 18 would be about right for that wedge from what you described.

    YJ is correct. For the punch shot, check out this thread: http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/403805.aspx?PageIndex=1
