Lee Trevino and Ball Spin

Lee Trevino, affectionately known as the "Merry Mex", was considered one of the finest shotmakers of his day, especially at hitting a ball into a green and then spinning backward. Jack Hirsch of golf.com has written a great article on why Lee Trevino could do so easily and why amateurs struggle with it today.

Trevino says that since golf balls are manufactured a little bit differently nowadays they don’t spin as much because they are harder. He noted that amateurs have difficulty stopping the ball on the green because they don’t generate enough speed to spin it. Clubhead and ball speed are no issues for pros so that is why they can do it, and amateurs for the most part can't.

Golf’s Head of ClubTest and Gear Data, Kris McCormack, says this is why it is so important that players have a ball fitting. He believes that testing from the green to the tee allows a player to see the ball’s reaction on wedge shots, and off the putter. Kris continued, “Independent tests have shown that the longest and shortest golf balls only vary by 10 to 12 yards at full speed. However, you can get several hundred RPMs of spin for the spin delta, and a couple degrees of launch, between balls.”

For golfers with 90 mph or less who want more spin onto a green, one should look for a lower compression golf ball (compression measures the relative hardness or softness of a golf ball. The higher the compression, the harder the ball, and vice versa) which may be the answer to more control and distance. McCormack says, “Since the golf ball is arguably the most important part of your game, optimizing it can lead to improved control and consistency in the scoring zone.”

If amateurs with clubhead speeds of 90 mph or less want to find more spin on the green, McCormack said looking for lower compression golf balls — such as the TaylorMade Tour Response, Bridgestone Tour B RX and RXS, or Callaway Chrome Soft — may be the answer to more control and distance.

Have you tested different types of golf balls? If you haven’t then you should find the one that best suits your clubhead speed. If you didn't sign up for one of our ball fittings, then check with our golf shop as we can help. The right ball will make a difference.
