I tend to be more of a sweeper of the ball thus not getting a lot of spin on the ball. I am taking a lesson with my good friend on Monday who is a PGA Teaching Pro and that is one thing we are going to work on.
With that said, I watched some YouTube videos earlier in the week about putting spin on the ball. One video mentioned about lifting your back heel thus creating more of a downward motion with your wedge and thus spinning the ball more. I played on Monday and tried this and it actually worked! I did not try it from longer shots (not sure if you are even supposed to do it from far out) but did use it on shots from 50 yards and in. Sometimes my ball was checking up too soon...so this will be a work in progress. But it was nice to see some actual spin on the ball.
Is this a method that you use to spin close to the green?
