Happens once in awhile with a high spin ball and depending on how the greens react. Usually happens for me for roughly 8,9, PW shots. I once tee'ed off on a par 3 with a 7 iron and had the ball land 2 ft from the pin and watched as the ball sucked back 10 ft off the green.
I've actually found that when the greens are very soft, it doesn't roll back nearly as much. The ball punches down on the green leaving a deep divot and hops once or so. Fast greens however... high trajectory + high spin = sucks back quite a bit.

Typically, a good shot for me sucks back about 2-3 ft.

yeah I was going to mention the green was inclined towards me, thats the reason it came back so far. if its a flat green it will spin about 3-4 feet judging from the divot.

20 feet isn't so unbelievable on softer greens. I've spun Maxflis back 15 feet with a brand new pitching wedge, but the greens were like shag carpet, and the ball grabbed instantly, and sucked back that far with little problem on a very solidly struck shot.


Crowd pleaser for sure. People love to see the ball spin back.

My ball is more of a hit and stop (within a couple ft). And maybe the occasional 1ft spin back.

    • I've been thinking about buying a hitting mat for home indoors use. I currently only got a small patch of some mat I bought years ago and stand on a wooden platform. It'd be nice having a mat to stand on and hit from. After some searching, I see Fiberbuilt often being praised. Not sure if I can get hold of it easily here, and buying internationally can get expensive for a mat that's already quite pricey (~$800). The Wittek Quattro is also usually favorably mentioned, and at half the price (~$400) of the Fiberbuilt. Anyone have experince with this mat? Any other suggestions?
    • It just occurred to me that the last time I was serious about golf, my woods were made of….wood! Also interestingly (to me anyway) as I shopped for “woods”, mostly on eBay, I found that all the clubs in really nice cosmetic/aesthetic shape (good finish, nice club face, good grip) were woman’s clubs. Seems they either take really good care of them or don’t use them much.    And lastly, for now anyway, I went to a range today that has Top Tracer monitors at all the stations - another “new” development that may have been around for quite a while, but this was a first for me. I found it useful although I’m sure I only scratched the surface of its capabilities. 
    • Agreed. For me, the feel was introduced to get the arms moving down from the top. It wasn't necessarily a "get it in front of the hip" explanation as the correct position but more for an exaggerated feel to get rid of the earlier issue.
