(irons) club spin of 4.5

ball spin of 3.7

question; how are these related.

does the 3.7 ball spin at center dot go up when the dot is at full back spin

would you calculate the 3.7 spin at 50% back spin higher than 3.7?

thank you for your help.

I'm sure there are others who can provide and decode the math involved.

I've found I get the best results when the club and ball spin match.

You might be reading more into it than there is. Those numbers are simply a way to rate the piece of equipment or ball so you can compare them to each other. The best way is always going to be what works for you.

The best way to find out how a particular ball behaves, is to take it out on a practice with very low wind. Try it with the spin dot on the center, mid and low end of the ball. Also, try the dot on top side of the ball, then make a note of the yardages. It’s a little work, but it will give you a quick reference.

This is good advice on how to see how a ball works. The next step is to actually visualize what you want the ball to do when it lands and knowing how spin works goes a long way in controlling that landing. Not everything has to be full spin either, partial spin is what controls the rollout.

And while practicing with little or no wind, try to remember that playing with a headwind or tailwind is going to throw everything you are learning out the window.

If you really want to become the consummate WGT golfer, take lots of notes in a small notebook just like the pros do. Track what happens to balls hit into the wind or with a following wind on each of the holes you play.

Or you could do like I do and just go have fun and try to remember things like carry or roll or where to land drives to get the most distance or have the easiest putts.
