So what exactly is golf ball spin? What does it do, and how does one achieve it?
Golf Ball Spin
You can put spin on your golf ball to get distance. Applying the right amount of spin will also stop the ball. The ideal ball, is the one that carries for long distances and also stops.
A golf ball can rotate in a number of different directions:
Direction of flight
Against the direction of flight (back spin)
Sideways (side spin)
Distance of travel is significantly affected by back spin,Taylormade R11 Irons
while the direction is influenced by side spin.
Golf Ball Spin Rate
A golf ball's spin rate -- refers to the speed that it spins on PING G20 Hybrid
its axis while in flight. It is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). The spin rate off a driver generally ranges between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, while the average, cleanly struck wedge shot spins at about 10,000 rpm.
The golf ball spin generates lift, thus a shot's spin rate directly influences how high the ball flies and how quickly it stops after landing.
