If you have trouble getting the ball to stop dead on the green, this Backspin for Chip Shots video is for you. We go over what creates back spin, how certain clubs affect it, and how to use it in our stroke. Start inching yourself closer and closer to the hole for easier putts. Create back spin and walk your ball to the hole. Start putting yourself in birdie situations with the right angles and loft to achieve the best backspin chips.
I look forward to working with you much more in the future with Top Speed Golf. Good luck with your golf.

This is the first explanation on spin that made sense to me. Thanks
Thanks Christopher!
4:18 is when the tips start
Hi Eric, thanks for doing this. We definitely could have cut to the chase faster on this one. Stay tuned for more great videos to come. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
I cannot believe people come to a golf instruction video and their criticism is "too much instruction"!! Keep up the great work Clay. Your explanation of the shallow angle of attack combined with high loft was perfect!
haha....thanks Tim!
And it’s free. Welcome to the internet!
Your videos are the best, I've consistently broke 90 since I 've been applying the tips that you show. This one is the video that I need the most because my short game can be so inconsistent. Thank you so much.
All those supposed top teachers who publish books and videos have nothing on you. I have been playing since the late 1970's and was always a natural player with skills immediately but could not move past that raw skill to being a good player. Watching you has helped me immediately become a better player. I am now a subscriber and thank you for your work.
Best golf instructor alive!!!

That instruction was better than some on the internet. He explains the terms he uses. Good job!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video, I’m tired of seeing people delofting the wedges, putting the ball far back in the stance and then ask why their ball comes so low with no spin in a 20 yards shot! Specially in Bermuda grass!! This guy here in the video knows what he’s talking about! Unless you want to bump and run the ball, stop putting the ball in front of your trail foot! Great video sir! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
Awesome thank you so much! I"m a 3 handicap player that has plenty of shots in the bag to score on the course. One shot I've struggled to learn is these spinning chips to help stick it close for improved short game. learning the scientific reasoning behind this shot was an awesome way to understand how to play it. Thanks again! I enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot Cameron! Best of luck with those spin shots! ~Clay
Great video I used to practice without cleaning my grooves and I could never get that spin. After seeing this I practice with my groove cleaner an the spin is so much more consistent
Thanks Matthew!
I like all his videos because he explains the science behind what makes these things happen. If I don't understand why it happens it's hard for me to figure out how to hit the shot. Thanks for the vids!
Great video. Appreciate the in depth explanation
I've been playing golf for 6 years now. I'm 49 and I am a 4 handicap. Clay's videos can seem to be long but I've learned more from watching his videos than any other instructor. Hank Haney is a close second. Great instruction👍
Thanks Raymond!! That means a lot!
Absolutely NOT too much talking...on the contrary, many good, useful points to help people learn the many facets of a key part of the short game. There is nothing easy about golf, including the all-important short game, hence, the need for detailed explanations that cover each key point. When you think about each particular golf shot--each involving literally hundreds of variations based on different lies--you'd better be ready to concentrate in order to learn proper fundamentals. To classify this video as "too much talking" is, unfortunately, an admission by a player not necessarily that interested in learning the game of golf. Clay is an outstanding teacher on this video and elsewhere...we can all take advantage of his expertise by listening, learning, and repeating what he tells us on the golf course.
Thanks Pat! Glad you liked the video. I'll be sure to share your kind words with Clay. Hope you're playing great! ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Great video thanks for posting. New info on how to get back spin
Thanks Clay, will try your style then.
Great lesson thanks !!
You’ve been doing a good job for a long time man, good on you
Thanks so much!
thanks this helped alot
excellent description of the need for loft
I come up steeper for more check but must give this a try thanx buddy
No problem Mark, glad you liked the video. Coming down steeper can add some spin but it will typically come out lower. If you come in more shallow then you have a more margin for error and avoid more tops and chunks. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Very helpful thanks
Someone takes the time to post informative, detailed content for free and a sea of clowns pour in to disparage him. Grow up you bums!
Haha...thanks Barry!
It’s the mid range golfer who have tried everything but too thick to learn anything. They just want someone with a magic wand cure!
This ^. Mid or high handicap golfers who probably will be stuck there as well because they really don't care, they just wanna show off to their other mid-high handicap friends.
Great video
thanks helped a lot
Great and informative video. Thank you.
Thanks!
youll never get a lot better until you truly come to appreciate what he said. Shaft lean, angle of attack, etc. you dont need to be a math wiz to care about that stuff but it will allow you to self-teach and self-correct your own game. Its ridiculous because everyone here just wants him "to show you the tip instead of talking so much". If you cared about golf and getting better you would realize theres more value in what he saying and explaining, then in what he actually does with the golf club. The club is moving to fast to even see what hes implementing. Its a lot better to listen to his explanations.
Hi Sp33dyBeanz
Thank you very much for your comment. We hope your game is going well!
Sp33dyBeanz actually in my opinion I think that yes the talking is a good idea, however it's done in the wrong manner. Personally I think all the explanation would work better when applied to the visual and this (In my opinion) would be best done if he showed the swing, then showed a slow motion clip of it and paused it at key points to explain why he did what he did at that point.
Absolutely correct. I was about to leave this comment myself

Nice pitch shots Clay :)
Thanks!
Great videos, Clay. Any chance of letting me know what video editing software you use to draw the lines? I would like to do the same but nothing to do with golf! Cheers, Mike
+Mike Johns Hi Mike. My video editor does it, so I am not sure. I think it is after effects. Play well!
Great tips. Thanks
You bet!
You are a good teacher!!!!
Thank you! 😃
Great detail. Don't listen to people saying too much talking
Haha...thanks Tom!
Absolutely, I hang on every word!
great, thanks.
Good tip. Thanks Clay!
Thanks. Play great!! ~Clay
Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard
Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard my son gets 8000 rpm backspin thanks for helping.
not on a 30 yard pitch shot he doesnt, it is physically impossible. maybe on a 70-80 yard shot
hi clay,
i was wondering whether for a full swing sand wedge shot i would get more spin with a inside out swing path or a more square/ outside in swing path
thanks
Hi Alienblob21
Thank you for your questions. Typically do get more spin with out to in (fade shot). Hope that helps and keep up the good work!
Thankyou.
+Mike Johns Anytime.
Clay, What kind of video camera do you use? love the quality of your videos
Hi John, we use a Sony RX 10ii. It's a great camera. Thanks for watching. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Nice video,will try this later 🙂
First time back on the golf course for one year after operation lots of practice to do😏
Play well!!
I like the way he says he's not going to get into how to deliver the club into the ball for backspin in this video, which of course is the main aspect of how to get backspin. Generally, you need to ensure that the bottom groove of the club contacts the bottom of the ball and get a feeling that the clubhead is slipping under the ball, which will make that ball run up the face and force the grooves into the cover. That's where the spin is generated. Don't make the mistake of hitting the back of the ball like a normal shot - this will give you some backspin if your dynamic loft is high enough, but not the backspin that tour pros have. Get that bottom groove into the bottom of the ball with controlled speed, and you'll get backspin. :-)
Hi Mark
Thank you for the comment. Great description! very detailed. Keep up the good work!
Excellent explanation and great use of the wind 😉
well explained great one
+Yap Mun Kheong Thanks!! Hope your doing well!! ~Clay
Hi Clay. Thanks for the videos. I've had 4 golf pros over the course of 40 years and I am surprised to see so much helpful information. I like hearing your explanations and I am beginning to understand the problems in my swing and hopefully how to rectify them. Thanks again.
may i ask, which loft are best to hit this kind of shot?
thanks.
Don't have to take my word for it but 100% will say highest lofted wedge you have.
Use a good ball and make sure your wedge has sharp groves too. The newer wedge groves that are milled are like razors.
Thanks, good video, very informative.
How much of a factor does having a good golf ball weigh into the equation?
a ton you have to use a ball that is designed to spin. ie prov , chrome soft. the new maxfli U6 ( i think) is about 28/dz and spins more than a prov with a wedge. we tested it.
A lot
What type of weight distribution should you have to maximize spin?
You'll want to have your weight more forward to ensure a ball first strike. That's the most important thing. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
You are great btw
Thanks!
Hey, How is that diferent from a pitch shot? Body rotation?
Hi Carlos, technically, this is a pitch shot but many people characterize all these shots as chips. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
hi clay I have a 60 degree wedge which is a Wilson wedge and I have a 56-degree wedge which is my Nike wedge my 56-degree Nike which is spending a lot more than my 60 degree Wilson wedge I put the 60 degree wedge out of the bag and kept the 56-degree cuz it's spinning more is that still fine ?
Hi Sananda, yeah, that is completely fine. Use what is working for you. There are several reasons why this might be the case but I would imagine that you're getting good grab with the 56 where the ball might be slipping up the face with the 60 because of too much loft. I hope that helps. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
what about groove wear and ball covering?
Hi Ken, yes, groove wear can play a role in how much the ball spins. Mainly you just need to make sure that your grooves are clean and absent of any dirt. Covering the ball refers to staying in your posture in the downswing. This is essential for getting forward shaft lean. This is very important for forward shaft lean. I hope that helps. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Isn’t there an upper limit to dynamic loft, beyond which you lose spin again? Ie sweet spot is around 55 degree?
Now I know what the kids in Peanuts were contending with in the classroom.
If your video you said not to come down steeply. But in your demonstration it looks like you are pretty steep. Any thoughts on this?
Hi John T, I can see what you mean by the demonstration looking steep. A couple things to remember, the shorter the club length the steeper the swing is. So your wedges should swing steeper than your driver which is much shallower. One other aspect to consider is the length of the swing is much shorter so the power to drive the club through impact is slightly different. I hope this was able to answer your question, please feel free to ask any questions. Your questions help us decide what videos we should make next. Keep on grinding my friend ~ Andrew | TSG Instructor
What do you concidered a pitch shot and chip shot?
Hi Tony, here is a video where Clay describes the differences between a pitch and a chip shot. Let us know how your game comes along, keep on grinding my friend ~ Andrew | TSG Instructor
Ha ha I'm really sorry I forgot to add the video, here you go topspeedgolf.com/topic/the-difference-between-chipping-and-pitching/
back to me hitting thins further than my driver!
Just out of curiosity, when does a chip become a pitch and vise versa?
TONY STOPAR in this shot lol this video is a joke
Chip never gets more than a foot or so off the ground and is typically within very close proximity to the green. This shot he is demonstrating is a pitch, which is generally anything short of a full wedge that isn't a chip.
Finally I have broke 300 after watching this video!
Boom!! Love it! Haha!
i feel like i’m back in jr high and listening to my math teacher teaching trigonometry
I work on a grounds crew at a country club... that rake bugs the hell outa me!
Hi James, haha, I could imagine. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Can I get spin w my 56 deg
You sure can. Best of luck!
Yo la hago volver 15 yardas y no doy tantas vueltas
We can't get any spin because the USGA decided that all the 30 handicappers were getting too much spin in their weekend game shooting 115+ and changed the groove rule to make it harder for them.
+Tec 9 Yeah, I don't know what they just didn't change the rule for professional golfers and keep the rest the same. Makes no sense to me.
I would say that is more a kind of pitch than chip shot... no ?
Yes, you are exactly right. Should have called it a pitch video. Hope you're playing great! Quentin | TSG Instructor
If I'm sliding under the ball, even on a tightish lie, what's happening?
Hi, thanks for the question. It sounds like you are scooping it which mean you are letting the club head go in front of the hands at impact. Make sure you have forward shaft lean that that your hands are leading. You don't want the club head to pass the hands until much after impact. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
0:30 4 factors to produce spin
5:30 club face and ball
The American flag in the back was waving majestically
I gust speed up my hads to get back spin... I'm sure this guys technic works... but flatning the face creates shorter distance.... just my point of view
Thanks for sharing!
That’s why you make such a good living playing golf
@@freddym7425 no.. I make good money selling drugs... You shouldn't judge people
Anyone who takesthe time to listen, and understand this guy's instruction will become a better golfer. They will shoot lower scores.
nice purple shirt fasionista
Haha...glad you liked it :-)
Information overload
Keep it simple
Hi, sorry for the abundance of information. We may have some other videos that are more simple. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
I put so much spin on once I hit the green and the ball was just spinning in the same spot for about 4 minutes, all the while it was making the wheel spin sound that a car does.
Be sure to repair that divot!
I did, however the ball made a 3ft hole because the spin and friction.
@@TopSpeedGolf I hate telling people this but I actually shot 50 that day! Tiger woods caddy was there and said "hey buddy you gotta let me caddy for you immediately, you will win every major if you play like that, Wimbledon included!!" I politely declined. I said "why would I want to play golf for a living when I make shit loads in IT"
do you have a paypal acct, would send you something for this very good advice, that not many will give up....
I could just join but dont like or let recurring anything on my cards.... strength training is coming along very well...
+Kurt Justin Hi Kurt, I appreciate that. Glad you liked the video. I don't do anything paypal for payment. They have terrible customer service. We use stripe, which if you look around, you will see is very secure. As with anytime you use a credit card anywhere, there is always risk. What you can do is sign up and then immediately cancel. You will still have access for however long you paid, but won't be re-billed. Best of luck with your golf! ~Clay
great simple advice for over the 50 .keep up the top speed swings.
Thanks!! Hope your doing great!
Good instructions... though I must say, that's not a chip shot.
+GambitChess Thanks. Yeah, its a pitch, but I found that most people that are looking for this type of thing use the term chip. Figured I would make it easier to find. Hope your playing great! ~Clay
4:44 if you want to skip all the crazy ass jargon and get to the shot lol
Haha! Good point!
@@TopSpeedGolf dont change though i appreciate the information, i say give em everything you know and let them sort out what they want to listen to
Premium balls and a fairway that’s better of my greens help as well...
Thanks for sharing!
If I don't get any backspin after all this, I'm taking him to court for wasting my time, after all, it was shot in America. Lol
Just a quick question: Would you subscribe to my channel if I could show you how to lower your scores by 3-5 shots? Honestly, I think I could make this video fairly easily but I feel that most golfers are looking for a "quick fix" with hollywood animation. What I would show is how to sink putts without buying a new putter or some god awful putter trainer that doesn't work(or return your golf balls).
FYI, spinning a ball will not lower your scores. I easily missed out on a few amateur tourney qualifiers based on a wedge that spun too much. Let me know below.
Travis
TL;DW
If you really want that spin glue the back of a 100 dollar pingpong racket to your club face then use a pingpong ball and hit down on the ball then it will spin back
Aren't you doing pitches rather than chips?
Clay describes the difference between the two at the beginning of this video: ruclips.net/video/mX05fBEhykU/видео.html Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor
Yeah nah, Phil Mickleson says the placement of the ball in this shot is at your front foot. And he adds that not placing the ball at that position for hitting high approach pitch shots is a mistake people make all the time. Check out Phil’s short game videos. He’s petty adamant about it. Kind of hard to argue against one of golfs greatest short game guys.
Hi Danny. Yeah, Phil is awesome. He may be talking about the finesse shot, which is a higher shot that has some spin and uses the bounce of the club.
I will dumb it down for the people that tuned out because of all the talking. Chip with a 60* wedge not a 3 iron.
I thought the 5 iron produced more spin than any other club?
Hi Alan, no, usually the highest lofted clubs generate more spin like wedges. You can get too much loft and the ball won't spin as much because it slips on the face. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor
CALL me old fashioned.but, why would you want BACKSPIN on a chipshot?. I play off 2 at ROYAL TROON, SCOTLAND. IS IT A DIFFERENT GAME THEY PLAY IN U.S.A?
John Clark not really a chip shot more of a pitch shot instead of rolling the ball out or the hole it's easier to land by it and it stop
Glue sandpaper to the face
Haha...that could work too. Thanks for commenting Robert. I hope you're playing well. ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
This is good but not the whole story. Bigger factors are the type of green, and type of ball. Play these shots at St Andrews and you won't see hardly any check. Play them at Greenbrier and they'll check all day long.
I don't think that is a chip shot, should be a pitch shot. The chipping shall be less wrist hinge with low finish. While the pitching shot you made in the video clip has lots of wrist hinge with high finish.
Jack Chen
6:08 he starts hitting
Hi Big Slick, thanks for helping out the others with letting them know when Clay starts hitting, keep it up and you might take my job ha ha ha. Keep on grinding my friend ~ Andrew | TSG Instructor

Over Emphasizing
That wasn’t 20 or 3 yards.
Thanks for the explanation but 57 degree spinloft is way to much. 45 to 48 degrees is the best spinloft to create spin. Anything above causes less friction because the ball is slipping over the clubface.
Do the everything you said only with a 52 wedge and you will geht way more spin
That's a pitch shot.
No amount of spin will help on unreceptive greens, hard greens won't spin, soft greens will spin. Some grasses are better for spin and some not.
Hi Waqar, thanks for the comment. I 100% agree. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Explanation tells hitting down, demonstration something else. There are two forces that affect that spin and they are not measurable...
Hi Tapio. thanks for the comment. The two biggest things that give you spin are speed and spin loft. The harder you hit a ball the more spin you can put on it. This is why it is difficult to put a lot of spin on a 50 yard shot vs a 90 yard shot. Spin loft is the difference between your dynamic loft (loft presented to the ball at impact) and angle of attack (the up or down movement of the club head through impact). This is all assuming the face angle and club path are both zero. The larger the difference between the dynamic loft and the angle of attack ,the more spin you can put on the ball. I hope that helps. Play well ~ Quentin | TSG Instructor
Actually that is what Trackman tells us, but unfortunately that theory is wrong and missing huge part of truth. You were pretty close when talking about pressure between the ball and feeling that ball stays long time on face. Think that a while via these questions
Let me ask you two questions and we continue after that (or you can send me an e-mail to protapsa at kolumbus.fi)
1.How you define AoA and can it be told by one number?
2. Can club head move downwards even if the force player produces to club head is upwards
the square root of the hypotenuse is only extenuated by the cosign of the tangent. Ghezzz man. no one can understand a algebra and trig lessoon just hit the flippin ball
I switched off at 5.30, way too much information!
Hi Michael
I'm sorry you felt like it was too much information. We do try to be as detailed as possible so we don't confuse anyone. But we will definitely take it into consideration for next time. Thank you and play well!
im a firm believer that these videos are not meant for people like you Mike. You want a 1 step quick fix that allows you to get spin on your chips. Thats not how it works. Listen to the video with your eyes closed, and listen to and visualize what hes explaining. that might help. if you simply dont have the patience to try to understand what hes saying then you dont have the patience to really get better at golf.
Many other golf instruction videos pass on short, to the point tips. Over-emphasising only makes the simple appear complicated. The best one (imo), videojug.
Michael Gallagher is that the guy you lied in his video. If you watch it again he uses a tee and paused the video at the end. LMFAO
Golf Help Gaza Kids to much talk
Wow you can talk
Clay, looks like you don't your hands to cross over - basically keep the face of the club facing up.
+Terry T Hi Terry, that is mostly just from looking at this angle. Frome face on, you will see them releasing more. You will have a bit less roll than a full swing on your short shots. Play well! ~Clay
+Top Speed Golf - Clay Ballard Are these type of shots considered a 9-3 type swing? How long of an "approach" shot would you use your 60 degree on?
Yeah, this would basically be a 9 to 3. It depends on the player. I usually us 56 unless I want extra spin. I would say you could use a 60 from anywhere that you want a bit extra spin. Good luck!
all usless if you are not using a soft ball
