I've gotta say, it's nice to have some backup on this one - both the theology by Dave T as well as some real world examples that I've conducted. |
This only takes into account the initial launch conditions. Once the ball is launched other things then become important.
The clubhead path, face angle, and center of gravity of the ball in relation to the CoG of the clubhead at impact will all combine to generate both backspin and more important to the lateral displacement - sidespin.
I am still learning and thinking about how these spins are generated.
