Backspin

As the ball flies through the air it spins backward as it follows its arc, displaying backspin. Backspin is created at the moment the ball is hit, when it climbs up the grooves on the clubface, rotating backward as it is launched and continuing the spin as it is propelled along its flight path (Kelley, about.com). The backspin sends the ball higher and farther.

The backspin can continue when the ball lands on the putting green, as well. The backspin stops the ball close to where it lands or can back the ball up from where it lands (Bredenkamp, ezinearticles.com). One key to creating backspin is a clean clubface, as grooves that are caked with dirt act on the ball like a smooth surface.
