Looking to level up your short game — and lower your handicap — in 2026? Adding shot-stopping spin to the ball on short-game shots is achieved in two ways. Here’s how to do it.
The first mistake golfers make when trying to create speed is decelerating through impact. This typically happens because they make a backswing that’s too long for the shot they’re trying to hit, forcing them to slow down through impact. Start by making a smaller backswing and then accelerating through the ball.
Spin loft is the difference between your angle of attack and the loft of the clubface at impact. Feeling like you are hitting down on the ball is a great way to get the proper angle of attack to create spin.
However, many recreational players go wrong when doing this by closing the clubface and de-lofting the club. Not good for spin. Loft is your friend.
