flop shot
High soft pitch
A flop shot is a golf shot played with an open clubface that sends the ball high into the air with minimal forward distance, allowing it to land softly with little roll.
Golfers use it to clear obstacles near the green or stop the ball quickly on a tight pin: He needed a perfect flop shot to get over the bunker.
