That’s the hope. Getting underneath to pop over a bunker or obstacle gear free is the goal.I remember taking these out to the chipping green for this situation and being pleasantly surprised with how well it handled it. I still struggle with how much these are going to spin from time to time and with distance control. I mean they're ultra forgiving, so I'm not expecting precision, but I was happy with what I saw from flop shots. The grind is really well done and gets under the ball easily. I think you'll be impressed.
