Hey guys - I just had a question about how to spin the ball back. It seems that no matter how much I try, I just can't do it. Right now I play Vokey Spin Milled Wedges, and Mizuno MP30's with Noodles. I can stop a full shot on a dime with any club (including long irons). I was wondering if there is some magical technique I need to use. Is it my equipment? I am a consistent ball striker that can hit a 9 Iron 145 yds. I feel like my swing may be to shallow. Any advice will be welcomed.

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft
3 Wood 906 F4 w/ Aldila Proto "By You"
Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

If you're not hitting the ball past your targets I wouldnt really worry about spinning the ball backwards..I find it to be overrated. A one hop and stop (IMO) is what most golfers should be looking for with their scoring irons.

But if you're using noodles, it isnt going to work. The only balls ive ever spun backwards more than 1 or 2 yards are prov1's and Nike one platinums.

The conditions of the green also have a lot to do with it, too. Its probably easiest to do it after the course had a nice overnight soak. I dont think there is a magical technique to it, either. You do have to be aggressive through impact, but noting out of the ordinary. Just hit the ball before the ground and it will travel up the face a little bit, and impart more spin.

Play the wedge an inch back off center,and make sure your hitting down on it and taking a nice divot,the more power you put into it the more spin will be generated.But make sure you carry the ball beyond the pin.I've often landed 2 to 3 foot short of it and spun 20ft back on fast greens.Firm greens won't give you much spin if any.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By klineka ·

      Shot a +1 73 today. Pretty pleased with the round even though it could have been 3-4 strokes lower without hitting it much different. 1 topped tee shot, a thinned wedge over the green from 40yds, and 2 putts that hung on the lip all could have made this a phenomenal round. 4 birdies total. Had an interesting back 9, 3 birdies, 3 pars, 3 bogeys and a penalty stroke. Birdied 1 and 18 so that was a fun way to start and end the round.

      Day 17 (18 May 24) - after band rehearsal this morning got home to a rainy afternoon so no outside stuff today.  Had some things to tackle in the shop, so I took the time to roll some putts on the rugs in the shop.  Able to work on tempo and distance control as I have a rug that rolls really well…so it makes for some fun work with the putter.

      What ball were you using and how fresh are the grooves on your wedges? I practice chip shots with my gamer, and while it's a lower spin ball I'm still able to hit it. Not necessarily the one hop then stop on a dime, but a low one that hops once with a ton of spin and trickles maybe a few feet.
