spin question

[bIGwIRE]

I have G10s to include my gap and sand wedge (50* & 54*).

Your G10's should be just fine, although a higher lofted wedge would make it easier, in some ways. Sweeping isn't going to spin as much as if you were to put some forward lean on your shaft and play the ball a little farther back in your stance, but 3 feet of forward roll isn't bad at all.

Another possibility... if a golfer can only hit a 5 iron 130 yards, she/he may not be strong enough, or be able to swing agressively enough to get alot of backspin.

Thanks for all the help, sorry for the delay in responding, but I got married yesterday and have been out of town.

Anyway, I am not unhappy with my wedge play at all, more of the geek in me wondering how/why.
I don't think I really want or need to spin the ball back, I am happy with the ball stopping within 3 feet of my divot, now if I could get my divot within 3 feet of the pin I would be all set.

Thanks again for all the information, it totally makes since!
