  For some reason today i have gotten my self into the rough alot! Every time its from 4 yards to 25 yards from the hole! 20 to 40 % lies, each time i have tried all three shots and they have failed to move a inch! Making me hit it full and fly way farther than whats needed!

   

  Is there a trick to this or is it yet another one WGTs ways making sure you don't move on to the next level!

  The shot I don't see listed is the Punch, which might be worth a try from the rough for those distances.

   try flop with full bs.,  30-40 rough add 3 yds.  40-50 rough add 5 yds. but you do need decent wedges for it to work well .  and remember to aim 3-4 ft LEFT of pin.

   practice tip: play a round of stroke, on your approach land OFF the green by a few yds. try a flop shot, then hit OFF green again, and try another. doing this you can get in 40 or so practice shots in one round!  GL

  anything 8yd up  t0  25yd i play  the  flop  shot..the  trick  is  give  it full  b/spin (with a good  Nike  ball)aim  2yd  left  of  the  hole and  give it  2yd  too much distance.also if  its  in the  rough add  2yd for every 15% depth of grass..

  I understand you all are trying to help the OP, but telling him what your L80+ clubs would do is not really of much use to a L45 TP.. In this case his problem simply occurs coz he doesn't have a 64 deg wedge. On adding that the grouping of shots would improve considerably. Try them out with that wedge and see which shot you like in what situation.
