By far, one of the most frequently asked questions I get is “how do I put more spin on my golf ball?” Well, if you are going to make that ball dance on command you will need to have the perfect combination of the following:

1. Perfect Lie – A clean, tight lie from the fairway is imperative as longer grass that gets stuck between the ball and the face will fill your grooves and take that spin away.

2. High Spin Ball – Not all golf balls are created equal! Make sure you research your ball’s performance characteristics to make sure you have the equipment to pull off what you are looking for.

3. Steep Angle of Attack – To put some extra juice on the ball, you’ll need to create some “pinch” between the club face, ball and turf. Attacking the ball with a slightly more downward decent will do the trick here.

4. Speed – Increased swing speed will increase the ball’s RPM’s giving you more stopping power. Imagine the attitude you would have striking a match on the back of a matchbook. Start a little fire at the bottom and you ball will sit with ease!
