Knowing how to spin a golf ball and control it is important if you want to take your short game to the next level. These tips will help you master the art of spin. If you really want to get good at golf you need work on mastering your shots hit from one hundred yards and in. Plain and simple, the short game is what will win or lose a match.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it always seems like no two short game shots are the same, each one requiring a unique trajectory and path to the hole. But for all shots hit from within one hundred yards, there is one great commonality: the need to put backspin on the ball.<\/p>\n If you’ve ever tuned into one of the pro tours on television you are well-aware of what backspin is: a shot lands on the green and instead of rolling forward it stops on a dime and spins back to the hole. Unfortunately for most amateur\u2019s spin like that will be difficult to get but that does not mean that generating backspin is impossible.<\/p>\n If you want to enjoy short game shots that stop on a dime, read on for a guide to generating more backspin on the ball.<\/p>\n Before you can start generating backspin you need to make sure that the equipment you are using is fit for the job. The first thing you will need to take a look at is your wedges.<\/p>\n The grooves on your wedge’s face are going to determine how much spin the club is able to produce. Nice wide sharp grooves are going to maximize your potential for generating back spin on the ball. The older the wedge gets, however, the duller the grooves become.<\/p>\n To test the sharpness of your grooves you will simply want to run your finger over the clubface. You will be able to tell just by feeling it whether or not age has dulled the grooves of your club. If the grooves do not feel nice and sharp you are most likely going to need to purchase a new wedge to enjoy the best possible results.<\/p>\n
