If you’re in need of an extreme specialty shot for a very tricky position short-sided and behind a firm and fast green, The Flipper may be right for you. 

You’re going to lay the face wide open, grip well down on the steel and you’re not going to move your arms, but simply flip your wrists. This will impart a lot of speed through impact, but not a lot of power, allowing the ball to come out of the thick rough without too much power behind it.
