I just recieved my new club in the mail, and I cannot believe the spin it creates! Its cool, but I cannot seem to control it from spinning 5' straight left! The flight of the ball has a really slight draw, but on the second hop the ball spins straight left! What's going on!?

You mentioned it had a slight draw, the which was put on the ball is a right to left spin, so when it landed, the spin was still occuring. Just because it bounced once, that it stops spinning. As for controlling the spin, it takes practice as to the shape of the shot is made.

What is the tendencies with your shots, draw, fade, straight? If draw, then your grip may be a tad strong, try making it more neutral and see if you hit the ball straight.
