Bouncing the ball off the club face is something I have been doing for years I have to choke down on the shaft with lower irons and with my woods. I can't do those extra tricks...just simple bouncing the ball.

As someone else mentioned, it's a way to kill time while waiting for the group in front to move on.

I practice using the foam practice balls (like the ones callaway makes. That way when I drop it, there is no loud noise on the hardwood floor.

I'm still no good at it, but I've gone from 3-10 bounces to almost 50.

I was out yesterday and after i one putted i decided to try to bonce it off the bottom of my putter with the putter turned upside down. Its an old odyssey blade so its a slightly curved surface. I got about 20 hits until i realized everybody was staring at me amazed.

I used to do it while waiting for my parents to pick me up from jr. tourneys. Now I do it all the time. I stopped counting at some point. I can normally just go as long as I want to.

I can do it for hours if I want to, there was a time when I used to practice it all of the time, it wasn't something I practiced intentionally, it was just something I did. When I was a lot younger there was hardly a time when I didn't have a club in my hands and sooner or later the idea to do this crap just comes to you. I can still do the between the legs, the behind the back, off the shoe, hit it high and spin around and catch it, I can stop it dead by catching, never tried the catching on the back of the neck though like in that video! These days when I play I often see people doing it, 20 years ago though it was a pretty rare thing to see someone having a go at.

If you want to try something really difficult, try doing it with your opposite hand. I used to have a friend when I was a kid and he could do it with a wedge in each hand and he'd go two balls, one on each wedge, I even saw him do a wedge in each hand and a ball on both and he'd switch the ball from one wedge to the other sort of like juggling. Another one he could do was flip the ball up in the air, spin his wedge over and get a bounce or two off the back of the hosel then catch it with his wedge and keep going. Mind you he wasn't a great player, I think he spent too much time on the wedge juggling act!

I got 11 using a sw, and I tried it with a 5 iron and got like 7. It's pretty hard, once the ball starts to stray off.

Just practice, and try using the 56 or 60 degree. Good for the hand eye coordination. and will help your golf game

I started trying to do it with my 60 degree while waiting on the tee box, doesn't take too much practise and I can now do 30-40.
