What causes the ball to back spin and not back spin, this is hit and miss

Hard to say what causes the spin, but the SW and LW clubs will give you most spin.
This is how i solved the problem: When you can t reach the green, choose a club so you will end 120 - 130 yards from the green.
This way you don t have to use a SW or LW club.
When you are close to the green, try to use a Pitch SW or LW club, instead of the Full SW or LW club.
Warning, when there is a bunker or water in front of the green, you can t use the pitch club.

The height of the shot, wind direction, green texture, and lie all play into it. I think difficulty level might also have some affect.

When in doubt, refer to BackSpin Rule #1: When you want backspin, you don't get it. When you don't want backspin... you get it. ed

Hi Fellow

I do not even carry a SW because it always has back spin....and like Gunpower61
posted leave your 2nd shot about 130 or more yards from green...further back you can use the slider to move to left to one hop and stop shots(dang gave a secret away LOL)Like the
other fellow posted the wind and level will affect the shot as well
