Thid is the Thai spinner that will impress all your golf mates!
This shot has been around since the 1960's. Check out the Billy Casper "pop shot".
This shot has been used for years. We call it the chump shot. Nice jacket – do they have it in your size? LOL.
Corey Pavin describes this as the “ stab” shot , in his excellent book Corey Pavin’s Shotmaking .
The spin mentioned here I presume is top spin ?
Can't see this being more reliable than a Scottish 7 iron bump and run.

It looks ridiculous and I’m a high handicapper….use the putter
Been doing this for at least 30 years and have tried to teach people how to do it. It is rare that someone ever gets good with it because they are afraid to hit it hard enough.
This is an old shot used by tiger in the mid-nineties.
A college player I used to play with in the late 1970’s used to put the ball way back behind his back foot with his old 56 degree sand wedge and hit this shot a lot. It would hit, take a big hop forward then spin like a bat out of hell.
Looked like number 3 wasn’t as far back in your stance. It didn’t get the same spin as the others and rolled out instead of spin to stop.
I learned this shot 30 years ago in Detroit at a Dave Pelz short game school–so believe me, it is nothing new and has nothing to do with Thailand !
I was taught that shot 50+ years ago whilst playing on broad bladed grass in Zimbabwe. Not new.
It's almost like you're squeezing the ball out with the clubhead. Been using it for years. I like it just off rear of right foot with 8 iron for closer to green "skid" chips. Low hands help for steep squeeze angle.
I've been using this what I call the 'slap shot' for years and have taught it to pros. I play the ball off or even behind the back foot with the grip of the club pointed along the target line. Great video BTW.
HVe you tried a simular thing with a putter just off the green?
I used to do this with my 3 wood
This wasn’t invented in Thailand… I was doing this 30+ years ago in high school, not just with short greenside chips, but also and more specifically under trees 15-30 yds off the green with 9, 8 & 7 irons—depending upon how low the obstacle was.
I do this every time I try a flop shot 🙄
Alex, I love the lessons! I'm about a 9-10 handicap. I'm having issues with my body and club alignment in relation to the target. Do you have any videos breaking down easy ways to get square to your target line on 150y and in?
I’ve been playing a number of shots like that. I’ll play a ball 6”-12” behind my right foot to keep it low under trees. Ball behind my foot with putter runs great to the whole as long as it’s not too soft of ground.
What's old is new again with a catchy name. We used to call it the worm burner.
Used to do this as a kid in the nineties all the time. Great little shot, when you've got a lot of fairway and green to work with. I found that it worked best with a pitching wedge.
Good video. You were on my flight out to Faro being a model dad – impressed that you managed to film anything!
So basically like putting it up with a massive room for error? It is pretty cool looking
Been playing that for 35 years. Nothing new about it.
Been playing that shot for years, its called the Duffed chip shot where I come from 😂
Played a LOT of pool in tournaments and this is like hitting a reverse English shot
Pretty funny…..years ago in bowling…..the Asians threw a spinner shot……it took the lane conditions completely out of play because the ball was just spinning down the lane…..not rolling like a conventional release…….and they did it will extremely light balls looking for tons of deflection………
Read the title and thought ☝️ That's bait!
Golfers have been doing this since the game was invented. We called it sculling the ball. I usually tell my playing partners I meant to do that. Now I can tell them it has a name.😂😂😂
Very good explanation, I am Thai golfer, never know how to hit a spin shot😅, but now I know how to hit a thai spinner 😂
WE used to do this in the 1990s, using sandwedges (SW-PW-9I was all you had below the 8I back then, there were no 58s, 60s, or gapwedges)
Called it the 'gutter runner'
Been hitting this shit 30 years…
naw…dad was playing this shot @ 20 years old, to hear him tell it. close to 90 now, he uses it for the backspin around greens outta the 1st cut of rough
Thaaaaiiiiiii Spiner
I’ve been doing that shot for 45 yrs along with a lot of other amateurs lol Thai my ass
Ken Brown used to play this shot nearly 50 years ago. Not new.
good for fun but that's all,not a practical shot at all
Another clip of Thammanoon’s low ball with spin.

I used to play that shot at home, on the carpet, with ping pong balls 😁
bruv, if people would have just simply had no life, and do drugs and play golf in their backyard allll day every day, they'd figure this out centuries ago!!!
Teaching people to cast over the top 😂
