This summer I explained to a couple of kids how side spin is created. They were attending a summer golf schoole and had no previous experience with the game. One of the kids had good moves but he sliced the ball big time.

I spent about 60 seconds, explaining the basic impact geometry to him, and how a slice sidespin was created and how he needed to impact the ball to produce a draw. I compared with soccer.

He said that he understood, and proceded to ..... <drumroll> .... hit nice draws straight down the fairway.

I don't know who were most amazed - he or me - but that was pretty awsome.
