Want to get more spin from your wedges ?  I have 3 factors that will reveal how much spin you will get from your wedges  .  To stop your ball near the pin a consistent basis, you need a good amount of backspin  unvaryingfundament.

Now, if you want to  learn  how to hit a golf ball with backspin, you have to  realize it is more difficult  to induce a good backspin than it used to be. Makers of golf clubs have lowered the wedge lofts and short irons. There is also a new rule that willlimit golfers capabilities when it comes to putting a backspin on a ball.

 But I have good news for you !  You can still put a backspin on a ball if you already know how to swing a golf club.  But you need more than just your swing to put backspin on a golf ball. You also need the right ball with the right grooves if you want to know how to get the right backspin with your swing. So for this to work there are 3 spin factors involved. .

1.) Swing Quality-You need clean ball contact that will catch the golf clubs on grooves 3-6 and speed up through impact.

2.) Face Grooves-Play with a wedge that has good passable grooves. You need a wedge that has enough loft and friction to engage a balls cover.  You need 3 quality grooves to put a good backspin on a golf ball : 1. Box Grooves, 2. U-Grooves, and 3. V-Grooves. Box grooves are the best when producing the most spin; 2nd is U-Grooves followed by V-Grooves. Also the newer and cleaner the club, the more backspin you will obtain.  You will also get a better backspin by keeping your grooves sharp at all times.  

3.) Golfball Cover-If you want the peak(a) possible  backspin  on your ball, you need a ball that is soft enough to engage the grooves of your clubface. The 2 for you to choose is urethane and Surlyn. Urethan covers are softer than Surlyn.

An article by Robert Wilson, Director of Product Development at GigaGolf.

In my years in the golf club business, one question I am continually asked is, “Why do tour players always play golf clubs manufactured by the major brands? If your clubs are so good, why don’t the players on tour use them?” The answer is more complicated than “they are sponsored”.

Many of the best players are under endorsement contracts. These can be very lucrative and sometimes net a player several million dollars a year. However, every player on tour is a commodity.

When players first get their PGA tour card they are offered “Tee up money” to play a specific brand of golf club. It does not matter who you are, if you are in the field you get paid. If you make the cut you make more. If you win the check can be very large.

The goal is to win the “count”. Every week the Darrell Survey publishes how many players played with what product. These figures are then used in the manufacturer’s ad campaigns. Having more drivers in play dramatically increases you chance of grabbing the title.

Of course, tour players would not use the endorsed product if they did not feel they could play well with it. Brand name manufacturers go to great lengths to make sure the player is comfortable with the product. They adjust loft and lie, change the shaft and even customize the head weighting to fit the tour player.
