Can you master Alex Noren's 'Backflipper' trick shot?

Alex Noren’s Backflipper trickshot probably won’t win you European Tour events, but it will make you the coolest guy on the practice range.

WE KNOW ALEX Noren is a good golfer– he won last weekend’s Nordea Masters by a whopping seven shots!– but we didn’t realise he was also a bit of a trick shot maestro.

His YouTube channel is a strange record of his many and varied shenanigans, ranging from this (probably dangerous) tree-related experiment, to his idiosyncratic bunker practice.

But the centrepiece of Noren’s repertoire, the undisputed piece de resistance, is a little bit of lob-wedge genius called the “Backflipper”.

Let us know is you can repeat the feat (without clocking yourself in the face). Video evidence or it didn’t happen.
