Gary Player is one of the best that the world has ever seen and his expertise on the subject can’t be denied. His knowledge has accumulated over five decades of witnessing golf’s growth, from its early years to the global sport it is now.

So, when a legend like him gives us tips on cracking a particular shot, we’re in for something special. Recently, he posted on Instagram a video of him explaining how to take the lob or flop shot. It can be a crucial one, especially when you’re only a short distance off the green and want to reach the closest to the pin without much damage to your scorecard.

Moreover, technique is one of the most important aspects of golf. A slight error can disrupt not only a shot but put off the entire round. So, let’s take a look at what Player elucidated with the help of his video.

Gary Player gives his tricks on a lob shot

The 86-year-old, while giving us his tips, also revealed who he thinks plays the shot flop best on the tour. The man who deserved this honor is the same one who hit an insanely unbelievable shot of the same kind at the 2020 Ryder Cup.

Jordan Spieth was left to hit a ball that was lying on a steep embankment, with water on one side. In a mind-blowing shot, he brilliantly lifted the ball- almost falling back into the water- to land the ball not only on the green but quite close to the hole.

Player, the 24-time winner on the PGA Tour, wrote, “Set the wrists, keep your head still and hit down on the ball. For me, that is the key to these types of shots. @jordanspieth does it the best on tour. I hope this helps you save a few shots.”

Well, what do you think of his tips? And do you agree that Spieth fires the best of these kinds?
