I shall certainly grab my shag bag (why is it called that, isn't shag some kind of nasty slang for doing it?) and test these suggestions. I actually hav a fairly predictable shot from 45 yrds (another nasty thing) by which I close the face of my SW and rip it outside-in. Lands fairly soft and rolls out gently towards the flag, you just need to make sure you aim it correctly for start of the flight.
