Working out potential roll of a shot

[trafficzombie]

hi guys

I am using Doyley's guide, in there it mentions working out the roll?

Is there a 'guide' to working out how much roll or no roll as may be the case on a shot?

I am guessing it is to do with uphill/downhill and headwind/tailwind

Thanks

Mostly to do with loft... and roll out really depends what slope it lands on, firmness, speed of greens. Most mid irons I like 3 yards..

[Doyley]

Nic's right...here's my general rule of thumb but firmness/green speeds play a huge factor

For normal firmness/normal speed greens
LW - play for 2 yards back spin
SW - no extra yards roll
8i-PW - 1-2 yards roll
6i-7i - 3 yards roll
3i-5i - 5 to 7 yards roll
3w-5w - 10-20 yards roll

thanks guys, also how do you get spin using anything other than flop?

I can't seem to ever get the ball to land dead or even spin back

Short lofted pitches can spin back pretty well

While the ball is in the air, hit the X button repeatedly (Triangle I think on PS4), and pull in the direction you want the magical spin to go.....   OH wait, wrong game... sorry

haha, I was thinking the same thing, oh the days of making a ball do what you want after you have hit it
