What is Spin Rate?
Spin rate insert (backspin, not forward spin) has a major influence on the height and distance of a shot.
Spin is created through your clubhead speed and spin loft (direction clubhead is moving and the face orientation at the point of impact).

Spin Loft
Clubhead Speed
Impact Position

Getting fitted by a professional clubfitter is your first critical step. Club Champion and True Spec Golf are my top picks. Google them. They are everywhere.
