Use a soft-covered ball and make sure the grooves are squeaky clean and deep...Replace your wedge if it is worn.Check there is no long grass between the grass and the club.The best shots are played from tightly mowed fairways.When the ball is on the wedge hit it with a square slightly downward stroke.

What is a backspin in golf?

A backspin in golf refers to placing spin on a golf ball so that when it lands (typically on the green, based on the nature of this shot) it does not continue to roll forwards but instead either stops or actually moves backwards. This is obviously done because the golfer does not want the ball to roll off the back of the green but instead "sit down" on the putting surface. You can achieve backspin on a golf ball typically by placing the ball backwards in the stance so that the club head strikes the ball on a downward path, forcing the ball to roll up the clubface and thereby spinning it backwards. This 'backspin' will continue as the ball moves through the air and come into play when it lands. The higher the loft of the club the easier it is to create backspin.


Why do you need spin on a golf ball in golf?

All clubs put backspin on the ball (unless you totally duff it). As the ball moves though the air with backspin lift is created. This is called the Magnus effect, it is similar to Bernoulli affect. The spinning creates a pressure differential and thus lift. As to whether or not a ball releases, checks, or spins back upon landing is dependent upon several variables: Spin rate upon landing, angle of decent, angle of the surface, ball velocity, hardness of the ground, and the coefficient of friction between the ball and the landing surface. ANSWER: Back spin on a golf ball causes the golf ball to spin backwards as it travels away from the person who hit the ball. Hitting a golf ball with a back spin will allow the golf ball to travel a great distance with a high arc. Setting a golf ball in motion with a back spin also will help to bring the ball to a stop when it hits the ground.


What is the easiest way to throw a ball have it stop and completely reverse direction after traveling a short distance?

To achieve this, you can throw the ball low and with backspin. The backspin creates lift, delaying the ball's descent and causing it to reverse direction once it loses momentum. Practice adjusting the strength of your throw and the amount of backspin to control how far the ball travels before reversing.


How do you backspin in hot shots golf 3?

Press the down arrow at the moment of impact, but backspin only works with a perfect impact. For super backspin press the up arrow at the moment you set the power and the the down arrow at the moment of impact, Again this only works with a perfect impact.

What four kind of spin?

The four types of spin are topspin, backspin, sidespin, and no-spin. Topsin causes the ball to dip and potentially kick up on the bounce, backspin results in a slower ball speed and lower bounce, sidespin makes the ball curve to the left or right, and no-spin means the ball has no rotational movement.

How does friction affect a car golf ball and rubbing hands?

However if the ball does not slip up the clubface during contact then a "Friction Force" must be pulling on the ball in a Tangential direction (down the clubface) at the surface of the ball to keep it from slipping up the clubface. This "Friction Force'' will spin the ball (backspin) on separation. If the ball slips up the clubface during contact then this Friction Force is much reduced and hence the ball will not spin (backspin) nearly as much on separation. The grooves in the clubface will help the ball grip (Larger Friction Force) the clubface better and prevent the ball from slipping up the clubface during contact. The nature of the surface of the ball (e.g. if it is soft and "sticky") will also influence how effectively the ball grips the clubface during contact and so influences the amount of backspin on the ball at separation.
