Backspin

fido · 05-22-2008, 10:17 AM

My pitching has improved since watching your DVD, but I can,t get the ball to stop or spin back. What's the answer ?

regards, fido.

My bad, sorry.

You can't stop it or spin it correct?

I need a couple of questions answered.

#1 What is your handicap?
#2 Have you seen better players stop the ball on the greens you play on? (not all greens will stop)
#3 Are you happy with your trajectory?
#4 Do you pitch with a pitching, sand or lob wedge?

Thanks,

Bobby

Hello Bobby, thanks for getting back to me.
In answer to your questions:
I am a 28 handicap,
Better players do get backspin where I play,
My trajectory is fine,
I use a lob wedge.

Cheers, fido.

With the way you responded (maybe) you are playing the ball too far back in your stance and you are hitting down on the ball too much.

Move the ball forward in your stance, two inches at a time and get back to me with the results.
