Hi

I played with an average 13 handicapper last week who really impressed me with his ability to get the ball to pull up within 1-2 skips with backspin on a chip shot. He did this to pins about 10-15 yards away and closer. I would like this skill but have tried it with a pitching wedge and ProV1 ball with no success......the ball keeps too low and roll too far after an impact on the 2-3 o'clock postion on the back of the ball.

How is it done?

Soft hands. You can't force spin, you need to let the hands relax and allow them to be slightly in front of the ball at impact.
