The rotational movement or spin of the ball produced by contact with the clubface. The greater the backspin, the higher the ball will fly and the more it will spin, and therefore stop or even spin backwards on impact with the turf. (The ball had so much backspin that when it hit the green it spun back into the water hazard).

(also sometimes called "juice") reverse rotation on the ball Example: A ball that is struck below its equator with a lofted club will usually have some backspin.

Rotation imparted to the ball, by utilizing a highly lofted club to strike the ball. During ball flight, the underside will be spinning in the direction of ball travel.

Backspin is needed to gain maximum distance on all shots as it provides the ball with aerodynamic lift. It also lets the ball stop quickly when the ball lands, and on some shots can cause the ball to [..]

A backspin is produced by contact with the clubface. It is a rotation movement, that causes that the golf ball stops quickly or even spins backwards after the impact with the turf. The backspin is also called bite or action.

a reverse spin inevitably placed on any ball that becomes airbourne. The spin causes the ball to climb and land softly on the green.

When the ball rotates backward (towards the player)in flight along its horizontal axis, it is called the backspin.

  The rotational movement or spin of the ball produced by contact with the clubface. The greater the backspin, the higher the ball will fly and the more it will spin, and therefore stop or even spin backwards on impact with the turf.

Refers to the backwards rotation of the ball on it's flight where the top of the ball is spinning back towards the player. Causes the ball to stop very quickly on the green.

When a golf ball hits the green and then spins back in the direction it came from.

Allows an approach shot to stop quickly and possibly roll backward on green.

(aka: "juice", "english", "junk") the action of the ball spinning in the reverse direction to its flight. Backspin will cause the ball to slow dow [..]

Ball spin up towards the sky, away from the target.

a reverse spin inevitably placed on any ball that becomes airborne. The spin causes the ball to climb and land softly on the green.

The backward rotation of the golfball that causes it to climb upwards due to differences in air pressure around the ball. Backspin also helps the golf ball maintain a straighter ball flight and reduces the distance the ball rolls after landing.

A reverse spin placed on the ball to make in stop short on the putting surface.

The backward rotation of a golf ball in flight around a horizontal axis as caused by the club hitting the ball. Typically the more loft on a club, the more backspin will be imparted to the ball.

Hitting the ball with reverse spin. This causes the ball to stop more quickly when it lands on the green. The action of the backspin on the green is known as the "bite".

See Spin Rate

The rotational or spinning movement of the ball describes the term backspin. Backspin is created when you strike the ball with the clubface. By and large, it flies higher and stops quicker - often spi [..]

A reverse spin placed on the ball to make in stop short on the putting surface. Backspin is also the name of an Irish Golf Magazine, which placed Mount Juliet as Irelands Best Parkland Golf Course for 2008/2009.

(n) spin (usually of a moving ball) that retards or reverses the forward motion

This is a reverse spin, which causes the ball to stop very quickly on the green.

Backward spin placed on the ball. Also called Underspin.

A type of spin used mostly on defensive shots. When you chop down on the ball, you produce backspin. The bottom of the ball will move away from you.

Under-spin.

The spin delivered onto the ball by the club at impact. Excessive spin will make a ball reverse dramatically towards the player after landing.

Self-explanatory. A ball with a lot of backspin will stop very quickly once it hits the green.

The rotational movement or spin of the ball produced by contact with the clubface. The greater the backspin, the higher the ball will fly and the more it will spin, and therefore stop or even spin backwards on impact with the turf.
