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.

    • Since 99% of my tv watching is YouTube videos so is my golf watching. Seems to be mostly British stuff. 
    • When I got to Florida this season (seasons instead of years since the years overlap) one of the guys asked what I had done, said I was about twenty yards longer with my driver. Said that I had a different driver which was true but looking back it’s really the shaft that’s been the difference. It’s similar in principle to the Autoflex in that it’s light weight and also light flex. Since most of my clubs are bought used I have difficulty finding senior shafts most of the time and being old and slow that’s what I need. Bought the Callaway driver, for several years I preferred Ping drivers, because they only had a couple of used drivers with senior shafts in my price range and it’s been probably the best I’ve had. Longer and very forgiving, decent distance even on my mishits and almost always in play. Keep in mind that my swing speed is probably under 70mph. 
    • Day 17 - First round of the year. It took me about 6 holes to remember how to hit off grass. Short game was lacking, but the round could’ve been much worse. It’s nice that my new “bad” is my old “good.”
    • Yes this was what I was thinking you have two golfers same 5 HC same swing speed 110Mph ...one you changed the driver head to a 10yr old model head but the same loft etc the other you changed shaft ...now if its just 10yr old shaft of the same flex weight etc it would be more so the newer head IMHO ..but if the shaft was changed to softer flex lighter than player was use to then the shaft would be the winner IMHO
