Right now you dont need to worry about spin if you have just picked up the game, develop a sound swing and a decent golf game, then and only then think about spin. I have only started focusing on spin just a few months ago and i play under 10. Don't worry about spin for a great while. Also, let the length of your backswing determine how far you hit the ball. This means attacking through the ball, and i think you will see better results for control.
