SPIN

joeparr · 11-10-2008, 04:58 PM

How can I get my spin rate down? I hit the ball with a driver very high and my spinrate is 4-5k. Now I use a 12 deg.driver.
swing speed between 85-90 I use senior shaft 110 ball speed 56g, low kick shaft,cobra club.Hit the ball between 200-230 I use a fade . I would love to have my fade run. I have a tough time trying to hit a draw, when it works its more of a pull and I do hit it further 10yrds but I cant control it like my fade ,by the way I hit it very accurate I usually hit 15 to 18 fairways, rest of the game sucks. Oh I use hard balls, so suggestions?....joe and no wise cracks

Joe,

Have you hit balls on a launch monitor with a reputable fitter?? You seem to know your numbers, thus you likely know a stiffer shaft and less loft will take off spin.

If I remember from another post, you had the issue with shortish wedge shots? Sounds like a leakage/flipping issue to me (the root of the flip? Don't know, but likely adjusting for an open face).
