I'm looking for maximum backspin
I already play with a high spin ball. When it hits the green it stops and sometime backs up a little. I'd like to see it back up 10 feet or more, everytime. Any thoughts on this...I think it will really help my game. Thanks.

Hi
if it helps i have noticed that when snooker/pool players want more backspin they chalk the end of their cue.
Perhaps it would help if you rubbed chalk onto your 100 yard lob wedge, and then you could probably spin it off the green, at least 100ft if any of your other claims are anything to go by.

Thanks for the advice...but I'm going another route. The man at Home Depot was kind enough to etch out my grooves a bit. They are now twice as deep and way sharper on the edges. Should see some serious backjizz now.

Wow. I can barely slow the ball down at all when hitting the green on pitch or chip shots.
-
Wiggy, you got to be careful. If your grooves are too aggressive the ball could actually go backwards in windy conditions. What the hell am I thinking. You could just use your 100 compression ball to take some spin off.

Bought some 110 compression balls awhile back. They're hard to find so I bought 20 dozen of them. Keep them in a freezer and pack them in ice when I take them to the course. It requires a minimum of 130 mph clubhead speed to compress them...good thing I'm a beast.

Maximum Spin hey?
all you have to do is take two balls, but them in a bunke side by side, dig a little trench behind the ball you are going to hit, swing as hard as you can, when it hits the green it comes back about........30 feet, nothing serious.....becareful though, you dont wanna get the ball in the jaw..

Hey Mr. Wiggle,
How much weight can you squat or deadlift?

My problem is that my lob wedge spins back farther than I can hit it. I can hit it 120 yards but it spins back well over 150 yards. Pisser.

One of my mates once showed me this one. Neat trick shot.

That would depend totally on how big his calves are.

Difficult to say...there are rarely enough plates around at the gym for me to max out. I usually go for high reps.
Squats - 405lbs - 5 sets of 12
Deadlifts - 585lbs - 5 sets of 12
Clean and Jerks - 315 - 5 sets of 10

I'm going to assume that 585 was a typo and you meant to say 595. If you're anything like me, the only plates at the gym are 45's.
Please clarify.

Bar weights 45 lbs.

Total weight 585. All our bars are 45lbs.

I have exactly the same problem with my putter

Yeah same here. And when I open up my 60* and flop it it goes straight up in the air and winds up 50 yards behind me. I'm more effective when I deloft it and use it to hit a bump and run. It travels about 2 feet in the air and runs out the other 50 feet but the backspin guarantees it pulls up right beside the pin.
I chose the road less traveled.
Now where the f#ck am I?

You're full of sh!t, man. It makes no sense to clean before you jerk. Wait. What are we talking about here?

For Spank, er I mean Mr Wiggle, the jerk would definitely be the easy part. The clean would be another matter entirely.

Home Slicer is right. It does not make sense to clean before you jerk.... would tend to leave a big mess (or a little mess)

And there's no one on the board who can prove whether I can or can't accomplish this. That's the beauty of the internet............and I owe it all to use of the #2 gripper........

At this point, I am therefore obligated to launch a tirade about how much better I am than all of the rest of you, and that the reason you refuse to believe me is because you are simply jealous, out of shape, and otherwise worthless scum of the earth. Perhaps an allusion questioning the critic's sexual identity or preferences should then be followed by a challenge to one or more of you to come and meet me on my home turf, and I'll show YOU, etc., etc., etc.........

Its true. Sometimes I spot for Dorkman at the GYM. I snapped this picture of him leg pressing 2000 lbs.
PS...His flatulences are equally impressive. Look at that smile on his face....he was digging deep on this lift and one got away from him.

You know he's serious by the cargo pants. TBH, I don't know why all the major sports aren't incorporating into their uniforms. Imagine how fast Randy Moss would be in some cargo pants.

I see that Spank has made a play for both the frequent thread starter and most pointless thread starter. I guess I'll find my own niche by winning the frequent thread hijacker award.

I found this handheld pressure washer at the Toys-R-Us. It's great! When i want more backspin, i walk up to the green and "water" the area behind the hole. Get it nice and soft before i hit my shot. The ball spins like crazy. These pressure washers come in low and high capacities, i choose one depending on the number of water fountains on the course. Since there's only 4 fountains where i play, i got the higher capacity Super Soaker10,000. One load per 5 holes!

Mr wiggles you should go back to Home depot and have that guy sole grind all your wedges so that it ads alittle more bounce to them. This will create a little more slide on the turf and in return some for sure back up spin , plus start using a prov1 and youll wish you didnt have so much spin on the ball once you start backing up off the green

When I use Prov1's I actually have to aim to fly it about twenty yards over the back to allow for the backspin I get. It usually works out well but landing it in a bunker or water takes a little spin off and I will be left with a putt from above the hole, so in that situation I will usually not hit a full shot and instead pull out the LW and go for a bump and run.

I know what you mean. Backing it up from the water or out of a deep, soft bunker requires the kind of spin that only the better players among us are ever able to achieve, even with the finest available equipment, including Topflite distance balls.
Seldom right, never in doubt......
