Question

how do i spin a golfball enough on the green to make it draw back?

Answer 1

Well, contrary to what Ail said, you don't need a high lofted club (the pro's do it with ease with a 5 iron) and Titleist doesn't even make a "prov2", they do, however, make the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.



Some thing that you should keep in the back of your head, is that this is a difficult shot to perform. It will take a lot of practice, and even then it is going to be hard to control the ball on the green.



Also, there really are very few times out on the golf course when the shot is really even needed.



For the weekend golfer, instead of trying to spin the ball back so much, it may be wiser to try and hit the green and then have the ball immediately put the brakes on so to speak. Have it stop on a dime. This shot is not that easy in itself, but it is highly effective.



Let's take a look at the basics on how this golf shot is played, but keep in mind that you shouldn't expect miracles right out of the box. It's going to take some time and patience.



Another important point to keep in mind with this hot is that you must be in the fairway, in order to produce any kind of backspin. If you're in the rough, forget it. Also, the course should be dry and the greens need to be short.



Think about playing pool when you begin to practice this shot. Pool players will hit the cue ball low in order to stop it from moving forward after striking another ball. They produce a lot of backspin which keeps the ball from rolling forward.



Pool players accomplish this type of shot by striking the cue ball at a steeper angle than normal. They also hit the lower part of the ball.



This same type of ball action works the same way in golf. When we want to put spin on the golf ball we have to pinch the ball between the club and the ground. It requires you to swing downward at the ball, hitting the lower part of the ball cleanly. Keep the golf ball in the back of your stance and swing firmly. It will take some velocity in order to have success with this shot.



It also takes a newer golf club to hit this shot. The club face can't be worn out or it won't work. The ball compresses into the grooves of the club head, which produces the backspin. If the club face is smooth and worn out, it can't grab the ball.



All of these factors are why it is so difficult for most amateur golfers to hit a ball that spins back on the green. As I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't be too concerned because it is not a shot that is needed except on rare occasions. Practice on the range with trying to stop the ball on the green and I think you'll find more success.

Answer 2

The answer is spin the ball more.

To do this first use a softer ball something like the Pro V1.

Use clubs with good square grooves. Amongst the best for this purpose are Ping irons but many other clubs can achieve this desired result.

The higher Irons will create greater spin so don't expect to spin the 3, 4, & 5 irons. Do expect to be able to spin the 9 iron and wedges.

The steeper the swing the greater the spin, so move the ball back in your stance to create a steep swing. You need to hit down on a ball to make it go up with lots of spin.

The higher the club head speed the greater the spin so unless you can generate a lot of club head speed you may not succeed.

Lastly try to trap the ball between the ground and the club catching the ball at the bottom of your downswing to create the most spin.

Now if you are constantly short of the hole you really don't want to draw the ball back so consider where the ball is currently going on the green before you try to draw it back off the front of the green. Most amateurs land the approach short of the hole, here draw would be bad.

Answer 3

You need a few things. You have to have a high swing speed in order to but enough RPMs on the ball to let you suck it back. Anything over 100 MPH should do the trick. My swing speed is around 113 and I can even suck a driver back if I'm trying to drive a green. Also, you must swing down and through the ball. A good drill to do on the range is set your ball up and put two tees in the ground even with the ball: one above the ball and one below. Make your swing and take a divot. Your divot should start after the tees, proving that you are striking down through the ball and then catching turf. This will also help your distance.

Answer 4

There are many things to do, but the easiest way is: hit it hard, solid, with a high lofted club, with a soft ball on a warm day. No pros don't back too many 5 irons. But it really is mostly about the ball and the contact. Work on you shots and buy a better ball. I only back my wedges a foot or so at most, and that's the way I want it. I just want the ball to stick where it lands.

Answer 5

First, you need to hit the ball onto a "high-grip" green, ie the green condition cannot be too dry or too soft. Secondly, you need a ball with a high spin rate, e.g. the titleist prov2. Thirdly, you need to hit about 1/2 to 3/4 down the ball with a high lofted club. If you manage all these 3 points, you will see the ball spinning back nicely.

Answer 6

just hit down hard on the ball, it naturally takes a backspin. But it also has to do w/ the contour and conditions of the green you're playing on. If you're playing on hard pan like St. Andrews, then you're pretty much out of luck w/ spinning.

Answer 7

Sorry I can't spin the ball back but honestly I think only showoffs like the golf professionals will do that. "Normal" golfers like everyone here will tend to execute either:



(1) High pitch shot to the green, land near the flag softly with 1 bounce and stop

(2) Hit short of flag and roll towards target.



These 2 are definitely easier to execute and will still do the job perfectly.

Answer 8

First off, you need a powerful swing. Most PGA pros have this of course, but you rarely see women on tour spin the ball back.

Answer 9

seem, she's retaliating a great deal through fact she felt you had rejected her purposely, she would not choose for to comprehend your motives for putting her up for an adoption. She is quite offended with you and herself. She feels betrayed and abandonned. feels like she have been given a brilliant form of her hostility from her adoptive mothers and fathers, they might desire to haver reinformed her habit whilst she grow to be youthful and advised her that on the time you weren't waiting to offer her with the form of life that a new child desires.
