    Ever since I bought new wedges I have had trouble getting that backspin on the green that I had with my old wedges. I talked around and finally found this video on YouTube where this tour prow clearly shows you how to put some mean backspin on the ball. I watched the video a few times and took the tip to the course. The first hole I hit my drive to about 120 so I took out my 48 degree wedge and hit the ball past the hole and watched as it hit and spun about 10 feet back tucking it’s self-right into the protected pin position. Really first use clean wedges then you are going to want to place the ball a little to the back of your stance then open the club face slightly, make sure that about 70% of your weight is on your forward foot that will allow you to come down on the ball with a lot more force. This all done right will allow you to put some crazy backspin on your shots.

    Thanks, Joe

    Here's how to find it: 1. Type 'golf: how to get backspin' in to the search box on you tube. 2. Click on the one that's picture is a oil can vokey wedge and a Titleist pro v1x golf ball, it should be the first one. Thanks, Benjamin
