I would think you don't have to have roll up per se, just 'grip' to transfer energy into spin. You might only be using one or two grooves on any given shot for that grip, but I'd have to say grooves matter!

Hmm? A 'Pool Cue' has grip. The Balls don't. I'll read more about it.

2 golfers, 50 yards off the green. Both with sand wedges. Golfer #1 hits the ball at the pin and rolls forward 10 feet. Golfer #2 hits the ball at the pin and the ball spins backward 10 feet.

What are the approximate spin rates of the two balls?

Questions:
  1. Did they generate the same clubhead speed?
  2. Did both Golfers accelerate through Impact?
  3. Did clubhead path differ? (angle of attack)(angle of attack affects effective loft?)
  4. Did one of the balls roll up the clubface more than the other?
  5. Hinging differences? Angled vs Horizontal?

Just noticed something very interesting from the 3 iron photos.

The haft seems to be further ahead of the head at separation than it were at impact. The opposite of lay-back through the ball.

Where the heck is Daryl?????? OMG I hope another forum didnt steel him!

D if you are lurking reveal yourself. Please.

This is freaky. First Bucket stopped posting and then Daryl. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yup, KGB, ninja kidnapping, for sure.

Or maybe they eloped or something? Naw..........I take that back, D is from Chicago, Bucket is an enlisted man, a Kentucky Colonel, I think.

WTF? Somebody call a P.I. or Mike O. or KOC or similar.

Where are our missing members? WE LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND!

Guru all the best for '10.

I just received a pm from a person who wishes to remain nameless about Bucket. Apparently he has assumed a new identity and is now working as a police officer...........here is the footage to prove it. You'll recognize the way he uses his hands. Yes, behold his hands..........thats Buck fo shizzle. And up to his old tricks again.
