low back spin

I hear you want a lowbackspin for longer drives, and the grooves on the face is what gives the ball spin, would it be advisable to fill in the grooves of the club face of the driver to reduce backspin? and what could you fill the grooves up with that wouldn't screw up the bouncing affect of the face?

Re: low back spin

there is a driver that doesnt have any grooves, i cant remember the name but someone here would

i think the lines on the side help give it the spin to get back on line when you hit the toe or heel

Re: low back spin

hmm.... haven't seen a driver with no grooves before, thanks, I will look that up online


I also have a thought..... hitting down with the iron, the grooves give you backspin, so would using the grooves on a driver and hitting on the up-swing cause top spin or less backspin on the ball?

Re: low back spin

my driver (King Cobra 440 sz) has no groves on the sweet spot, only on the outside of the face (I presume to try and minimize or correct off centre hits)

Re: low back spin

thanks, i visted that krank golf site that driver looks soooo smoth, too bad I couln't try something like that our on a demo day. My problem is that my driver has no grooves on the sweet spot, but it hit it above the sweet spot to promote less spin, and there are grooves up top though. I don't know if I will get the chili pepper though, I will look into it.
