High Lob - Help !

Played this weekend and 3 times was faced with a chip over a greenside bunker which was on the side slope of the green and above me (so im on the bottom of the slop having run off the back). Small green so not much to work with

So I wanted a shot where I can get the ball high and stop it quicky. Roughly 10-20 feet of carry

Tried a few things, none of which were very elegant. Have been able to play to flop type shot quite well in the past but now the ground is much harder I seem to find the club bounces off the ground and I cant slide it under the ball so easily

Any advice on shots to play? A chip with a LW didnt give me enough height nor check

From your description, I get the feeling that you hit the flop shot out of the fluffy stuff where it's easy to slide the club under the ball so you're not really hitting down on it.

It does become a more difficult shot to play off shorter and harder ground but not impossible if your lob wedge doesn't have too much bounce on it.

Firstly address the ball with it right on the back foot and open the stance wide. Press the hands forward and punch down, through and finishing low. You should find that you can hit the ball quite hard but it will still pop up, land short and bite hard. It's a bit of an unusual technique but if you "chicken wing" the shot and use the left hand more it's amazing how much spin you can generate. You need to compensate for the swing plane and open clubface by aiming way left of the target.

It takes some practice but it's a great feeling when you can show that shot off to your playing partners.

Open the face way wide along with the stance, and just try to kill the ball (i would advise getting under it plenty, imagine a 150 LW due to a blade of that kind) Takes a while to get used to but i have played it some.
