How do you get more back spin on irons 4-8?

Question

the greens at my local course are very fast, and i need to stay on the green on my 2nd shot.

Answer 1

Move the ball back in your stance a little so you hit down on it.  Strike ball first, then take your divot, put more hand action into it.

Answer 2

yea dogg

Answer 3

You have to have a slightly steeper approach into the ball.  Also, try to keep your wrists c-o-c-k-e-d for as long as possible, before turning them over at impact.

Answer 4

Hit down on the ball and trap it agaist the turf, that will get you more backspin on the ball.  Don't expect much backspin with the 4-6 irons, play those a little short of the target expecting them to release.

Answer 5

There are very few golfers who can put backspin on irons 4 thru 8. These are not meant to be spun but are hit for particular distances within a range of approximately 10 yards.The object therefore, is to bump and run for a short pin placement and to hit front green for middle pin placements as well as rear pins. This gives one a chance for birdie putts.
