Avoid those flop shots unless it is absolutely necessary! PGA Pros spend hours and hours practicing in order to execute a good flop shot.  If you are an amateur, you don’t need to hit a flop shot when there are other options available.  If your ball is in the rough above the hole and you have a downhill shot, use your sand wedge and chip the ball so it lands in the rough just short of the fringe.  The rough will slow down the momentum of the ball.  The ball will bounce once or twice and then role towards the hole.
