We know that playing golf is a dead ball movement the ball doesn’t move until we strike it but before that our bodies have moved in a very Dynamic and very complex way now if we were playing tennis of any level we’d be familiar with Top Spin and

Back Spin if I was playing table tennis I’d be doing that if I was playing pool I would be putting bottom on the Q ball or run through I’d be affecting the spin of the QQ ball if I was throwing a rugby ball out along the three quarter line i’ be making it

Spin when you see a free kick going around a defensive wall in soccer you’re seeing somebody making the ball spin so the disaster is to think that we have to hit the ball straight golf pros don’t so why should you the fact of the matter is tournament Pros are always moving the

Ball a little bit from right to left or a little bit from left to right so taking the six on pulling up the sleeve I’m just going to hit some 40 50 yard shots now I go around the circle to my left so that I’m aiming right at the

Target can you see that as I walk around the circle to my left I’m now align right of the umbrella so I’m going to go back on this new line and I’m consciously going to use my hands of my blade to hit a little low hook I think the camera will have picked

Up the ball going and kicking to the left and running away and while that was quite a small motion the ball’s gone the best part of 100 yards it also went quite low because Top Spin tends to do that secondly it sounded quite clean there wasn’t a divert so most of your

Draw spin shots will feel as though they come out of one of the the lower grooves let me do that one more time set up round the circle big pting stroke on this one I am going to roll the face now if you play tennis and table

Tennis and you can Top Spin and back spin the ball there is no reason on this Earth that you can’t control the golf ball the same way so let’s go to the easier one which is the fade this is the backspin technique it requires less creativity it’s probably a safer bet

Most of the time so here we go pull the clip Up My Sleeve I walk in this time I go around the circle to my right I’m now aligned left of the umbrella you can see that I’m going across the parallel lines on the floor big putting stroke I’m just

Delaying the release and the ball fly higher with a bit of slice you see the ball curving from left to right it hasn’t gone as far as the draw spin shots because there was Back Spin in the mot in the motion I’ll do one more for you cuz I caught that a bit

Thin I’d like to hit your High version so around the circle the club face goes with me and now I slip the club across the ball from out to in there we go nice and high not going as far as the draw but kicking from left to right very

Simple we’ve taken the patting stroke and we’ve added some forarm rotation and we’ve taken some away the war responds not to you that responds to the club face at impact and you control it there’s your fade spin Back Spin and there’s your Top Spin draw spin the choice is yours
