Re: How-To "Backspin on chips"
Interesting thread,in my opinion when you apply backspin to the ball you are contacting the ball below the equator. It is impossible to strike down on the ball in a fashion which impacts the ball above the equator, to do that then the angle of the shaft would have to be below your feet. Sqeezing the ball out of the turf is a good mental thought but in reality the club never does that.I have discussed this thread with a tour player and to apply spin requires the ball to ride up the club face. To get this right and zip the ball back you need god given talent because the margin of error is so precise.The three images provided by the previous poster is correct.Anyway what does it matter.
I learn more everytime I check into this site.You guys sure do provide some good advice and for me that is all this site is about. Improving your golf.
Best wishes to you all.
