TechniqueB
Backspin
Reverse rotation on the ball
Pronunciation
/ˈbæk.spɪn/
Definition
The backward rotation imparted on the ball during impact, which creates lift and helps the ball stay in the air. Backspin also causes the ball to stop quickly or even spin backward on the green. Clean contact with a descending blow and grooves generate backspin.
Example
"The shot had so much backspin it sucked back 10 feet."
