Hello True Motion!
Welcome to THP. I thought I'd start with what I hope is a relatively easy question for you as you get familiar with the forum. Around the greens, we're told to try and get the ball rolling as quickly as possible, in a way to avoid errors. Well, I'm having trouble with that. When I try and get them rolling like a putt, I can't gauge the spin whatsoever. A 50 or 54 wedge played low to run will either check and sputter, or land on the first bounce with that "spinning" sound like it's going to bite, and then laugh at me as it releases. The only way I'm finding I can be consistent is throwing it in the air, because for some reason, the ones that fly 50-75% of the way there don't spin much at all, they look like they're just floating.
Any suggestions? Grooves are clean (clean'ish haha) and the ball is always something urethane.
