Backspin

[Mon]

Hello!! I've been playing for two years. My handicap is 12. I think I am hitting my irons solid but the ball (pro v) doesn't stop. I hit the ball and after the ground with a good divot and transfering my weight to the left foot on the impact. I hit 130 meters with the 9 iron ( mizuno mp 30) but it bumps and rolls for 3 or 4 meters. How can I get backspin?. My irons are new. Will it be easyer when they were worn?. Thanks!!

If you are getting 3-4mtrs roll with your 9i, then my guess would be that your hitting it low. Are you getting this much run on the green? I hit my 9i about 135-140mtrs, however it stops dead (on the avg player i hit my irons a club further), another thing you might be doing is hitting your irons too hard... try clubing down on your irons and swing easy.

Thanks Raclt7!!! I'll try to swing softer and higher.
