Golf Tips and Golf News

Putting spin on a golf ball is one of the techniques that seperates good players from great players. It allows you to hit long shots, without risking a huge amount of bounce and roll, which could put your golf ball in the rough, a bunker or way off the green. It doens't matter how accurately you hit your shots; if your ball rolls on, you're never going to be in the best position.

The key to putting spin on a golf ball has nothing to do with slicing it, or using any kind of trick shot. The idea is to take a normal, smooth stroke, but create the divet AFTER you hit the ball - not before. This means the club face drops as you hit the ball, letting the ball run over the groove in the face of the club, putting backspin on the ball. Do it right and you can stop your ball exactly where you want it.
