How do people do a forward spin on a golf ball?

A forward spin on a golf ball is created by hitting the ball with a downward blow, imparting a clockwise spin to the ball for a right-handed golfer. This type of spin causes the ball to curve slightly from left to right, increasing distance and accuracy.

Steps to achieve a forward spin on a golf ball:

  • Grip the club firmly with the left hand below the right for a right-handed golfer.
  • Position the ball slightly forward in your stance.
  • Swing the club down, making contact with the ball at its highest point.
  • Focus on hitting downward on the ball with the clubhead, creating a "scooping" motion.
  • Follow through with your swing, maintaining contact with the ball until after impact.

Benefits of a forward spin on a golf ball:

  • Increased distance by reducing backspin and allowing the ball to travel further.
  • Improved accuracy by counteracting the natural fade or slice that can occur.
