how do you put enough spin on the golf ball to the point where it backs up?

Answer 1

1. Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.

2. Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.

3. Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.

4. Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).

5. Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.

6. Follow through normally.

Answer 2

It is impossible to spin it back on some golf courses. If the greens are hard where you play, you probably will never be able to spin the ball back. The ball also doesn't spin back if the greens are too slow. Soft and fast greens are ideal for spinning the ball back. If you're not creating a divot with your short iron or wedge shots, make sure you hit down on the ball, but not too steeply or else it will fly too low and offline. You also have to be able to hit the ball far enough for it to get the necessary amount of spin and height on the ball. If you can't hit a pitching wedge more than 100 yards, I would stop trying.

Answer 3

Rather than trying to sweep or pick the ball off the fairway with your irons, hit the back of the ball on the downswing. The result is a ball flight that starts out low with more power and rises with backspin. You don't need to swing harder, just crisp contact.

If you get to the point where you make consistent contact, consider switching to a balata covered ball. It's softer and will impart more spin. The give on this is that a mishit (skulled) ball with be smiling back at you with a wide gash in the cover.

Answer 4

The spin on the ball the following things have to happen:
1. Groves on clubs clean
2. Lie - Can not have a "flyer Lie" Grass between ball and club
3. Proper contact - full shot - Hit the ball first than make the divot.
4. A ball built for control not distance.

Answer 5

this is a very common question. on full swings i can usually generate enough spin witth anything as long as a 5 or 6 iron so that the ball stops even without doing the special method.

but, to answer the question, the main thing to do is play it off your back foot. lock your wrists early in the backswing to make a steep angle. hitting down on the ball will pinch it off the turf. make sure you swing hard because the harder you swing, the more spin you generate.

Answer 6

the guy who wrote out the list in correct, except for you don't need a wedge to put back spin on a ball. If you have the tallent, you can use an iron, but i wouldn't use anything higher then a 6, or 5maybe.

Answer 7

This takes a LOT of work.....when striking the ball, you need to hit DOWN on the ball in the downswinng (rather than you would think of lifting it up). The downward pinches the ball one way as it lifts and flies. PRACTICE

Answer 8

very simple, move the ball back an extra inch or two in your stance and hit down on the ball
