Want to get more spin from your wedges ? There are 3 variables that will tell you how much spin you will get from your wedges . You need a good amount of backspin to stop your ball near the pin on a  consistent footing.

Now, if you want to know how to hit a golf ball with backspin, you have to  realize it is more difficult  to start a good backspin than it used to be.  Golf makers  have lowered the wedge lofts and short irons. There is also a new rule that will indentured 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- If you’re going to get a great backspin, then you need clean ball contact that will catch on grooves 3-6 on a golf club and  accelerate through impact.

2.) Face Grooves-Play with a wedge that has good decent grooves. You need a wedge that has enough loft and friction to engage a balls cover. To put a good backspin on a golf ball you need 3 quality grooves. 1. Box Grooves, 2. U-Grooves, and 3. V-Grooves. If you want to produce the best spin, then Box Grooves are the best.  Also the newer and cleaner the club, the more backspin you will obtain. You also want to keep your grooves sharp for better backspin.

3.) Golf ball Cover-If you want the highest possible  backspin  on your ball, you need a ball that is soft enough to engage the grooves of your club face. The 2 for you to choose is urethane and surlyn. Urethane  covers are softer than surlyn.
