BACKSWING - - - Which way do you take it to hit topspin?
111843
My racket face is definately above my shoulder during my backswing.  Its motion path is sort of like a candy cane when it comes in line with the ball and finishes with a sort of twisted figure eight as I wrap the racket around my shoulder and back.  I would presume after looking closely on camera that my stroke does just dip down below the level of the ball as it straightens to come in line with the stroke.  This all happens so fast that you would need to slow the film down to see the actual path precisely

Semi-open stance forehand with full shoulder turn on upper body.  On Backhand side I have a closed stance one-handed backhand transfering weight through the shot to my front foot with full follow through.  Hope this helps.

Try to position yourself so you can get under the ball.  The idea is to create a tight spin on the ball with more up action after the ball leaves your racket.  This is usually acheived with a swing pattern that looks more like a winshield wiper on your car, don't stop the racket head after contact.  You also need to have some forward directional control but make sure the ball has a high Arch usually at about 12 feet high at its apex (highest point)  The Apex of your topspin lob should be pretty close to directly over the net so the ball lands in the back thrid of the court.  This shot requires a degree of feel for the ball which is difficult to express in words, so I would suggest having a partner feed you some balls and practice the shot.  Be sure to pay close attention to the amount of spin you place on the ball, if your lob is about 12 feet at its highest point, and that your lob is landing in the back third of the court.

I first hit a back spin unintentionally, then I knew why and how afterward. First, you must have quite a good swing that provide very good impact between the club face and the ball. I tilt my body forward a bit, or lean you weight to the front (left leg if you are righty). Move the ball back in your stand a bit, to deloft the club face and hit the ball very square, taking some divot. I find that the harder I hit the ball, the more back spin the ball will be generating. The groove on the club face will do the rest for you given you make really good impact.\n\nI could back spin the ball up to four iron, but not with three iron. It is easier to hit back spin on shotter iron like 7- sand. \n\nAnother way is to hit a high fade, but usually it will induce more side spin than back spin.\n\nGenerally, hitting down on the ball (or even a knock down shot) with really high ball can make back spin easier. The type of ball also come into account. I find good balls make back spin easier. Sometime, golf ball spec will be indicated in the box of their velocity. The more it can generate the easier it is to produce a back spin shot. From the tee in par 3, I find that sometime tee it up a little higher and hitting down furiously also induce high back spin.\n\nNevertheless, I've seen Ernie Els hit really low shot with five iron over 200 yards with back spin. Ball control is much about how hard you pratice (the number of time you hit the ball until you gain the feel of it that would enable you to control the ball in the way the pro does). Try hitting 200 balls a day for three months with 7- pitching, I think it then comes naturally.\n\nIn all, though, make the ball stop seems more logical than back spin a lot, since the only time you need back spin is when you hit the ball past the hole and you want it to roll back into the hole, which had never happened to me. Make it stop where it's lands usually best, as once it backs spin, it may roll to the place you don't want it to be. Good luck and enjoy the game.

thats the first thing wrong with your golf game (sorry for the negativity). it doesnt matter what side of the ball your on. the grip is always the same unless you are restricted by something. the swing is what its all about. start by taking it in close to your body, bringing it down in that same line, then pushing it out away. an inside out swing. as you do this, snap your wrists over. if you arent physically able to do this. try putting your left hand on top of the grip more so you can see more of the back of your hand. it'll force the wrist snap. (not suggested but if necessary).

Assuming you're a beginer, practice all your simple "J'' turns using both your toeside edges and heelside edges. once you have your edges down start pointing your board down the hill, each time going further and further. but remember you must have your turns and stopping down before you start shooting down the hill. \n\nIf you post another question telling exactly what you need work on, i could answer better.

Moving the ball back in your stance is very dangerous.  The ball can go way right on you.  Making proper contact and the type of ball you use are the key.  You have use a ball that will spin.  Balls like Pinnacle, Top Flite, and HVC don't have a lot of spin.  Pro vi is good.  Your groves should be clean, and you can't spin the ball out of flier lies.  Which are grassy lies.  The club hitting the ball and the ground pinch  the ball and create the spin.  You may want to go to www.playgolfamerica.com and take a free golf lesson from a PGA pro in your area.  You can also go to www.pga.com improve your game section and look at all the tips.

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

If you can you should got take a lesson from a PGA pro. If you cant afford it i'll give a tip from my lesson. Your swing should go around your body, not your head. Second, on back swing, wieght on your right foot (if your right handed) and coming back down your wieght should be on front foot.Third, at all times have your wieght should be on your toes and not your heels. Fourth, throughout the swing don't slide your body right and left, try to keep it center. Last when your coming down to hit the ball, don't accelerate too early, becuase if you do you're ball will either slice or hook.

The key is being smooth and accelerating through the shot. I abbreviate my back swing as well, but only because it helps me with my tempo. From what I've seen it's more about what you're comfortable with. I have friends who open the clubface and take a full swing, but that's not comfortable to me. Bunker shots are tough for me too. Good luck.

This might sound dumb, but try going out to the driving range and moving your back foot backwards a couple of inches...\nI don't mean feet further apart, I mean that your body will actually be turned slightly in a clockwise direction.\nit will change the angle of impact with the ball, and that will change the spin you unknowingly place on the ball.  \nThis isn't a guaranteed solution, but that's how I fixed mine.

if ur only using 1 hand, use 2 first of all its easier for most people. Also, just know that foot placement and where u put your body weight is very important. before you hit the ball, your weight should be in your back leg ... when you swing it shifts to the front, so you rotate your body into the swing , and thats how a lot of people mess up their backhands. i cant really help u out man, i have no idea what your swing looks like, get advice from a tennis club pro or something. :)

Topspin it goes it more often than backspin because backspin in wind can get caught in the wind more easy. Topspin in harder to hit long because the hit causes it to go towards the ground. backspin is harder to get a more consistant shot it's great if the player is playing back cause it can be a easy drop shot. topspin also make the ball jump (as in it goes jump) making it hard to return. this causes the player to have to play back which means they wouldn't play net as much and if the opposite player is playing more net they are more likely to win the point which adds up. so topspin is definatly and logically a better shot than backspin. take it from a pro and coach.

Where is the ball in your address position? It should be in the middle or slightly behind the middle of your stance. Make sure when you swing to not involvle your lower body too much or the result will be an opening of the clubface making your shot go to the right. However, if your ball is hitting the hosel of the club ( the part that connects the club head to the club's shaft) you are shanking the ball. Try to stand a little further from the ball. And make an aggressive swing. if you continue to have problems invest a few bucks and get a lesson from your local PGA Professional.

1. Semi Western or Western grip.  Those are the two grips that allow you to hit top spin.  2. Bending your knees.  By doing this it allows you to explode up into the ball.  So your body is going up the same way your raquet is.

I usually start with two back flips.\nI follow it up with a somersault.

Serves hit with heavy topspin are said to "kick" because of their high bounce. Kick serves come in two varieties, straight topspin and twist (a.k.a. American twist). Picture someone on a mountain bike going off a big jump. A ball hit with a topspin serve would be like the front wheel spinning around and still aligned with the forward motion of the bike. A ball hit with a twist serve would be like that spinning wheel turned, typically, 30 degrees to the right. (We'll assume a right-handed server throughout this article.)\n\nMost tennis pros hit either topspin or twist on more than 90% of their second serves. The reason is simple: at any given serve speed, the heavy topspin in both kick serves allows the server to hit at a much safer height. Without topspin, a second serve has to either clear the net within a dangerously small margin or travel at such a slow speed that it sets the receiver up to attack. With topspin, a serve can be hit at over 100 mph, clear the net by as much as four feet, and still drop into the service box, where it then bounces well above the receiver's comfort zone.\n\nOf the two kick serves, the twist is the harder to return, because its sidespin makes it curve to the receiver's right in the air, then jump to his left on the bounce. Even experienced players often have trouble accurately anticipating where this combination of curves will ultimately put the ball.\n\nFor more details, please follow the below url:
