Re: How-To "Backspin on chips"

A driver, on the other hand, spins the ball a lot less, due to a different trajectory from the club head at impact!


hi Mox
i was replying to your post and why there is a difference using a driver of the fairway to using it on a tee peg.

if you try and hit a new driver off the fairway you will find it very hard to get it up in the air. if you use a wedge you find it fly's high without you trying to make it do that. the reason is the loft. with the new driver the ball cant clime the face as the sweet spot is so high on the face and thats why its so hard to get in the air when hitting of the fairway and why you hit it high on a tee peg. anyone trying to hit a driver of the fairway will find this out using a big headed driver.
