Do you have too much back spin? What's the right RPM?

The right revolutions per minute (RPM) for a golf ball depends on several factors, including the type of club being used, the swing speed of the golfer, and the type of ball being used. Here are some general guidelines for RPM for golf balls:

  1. Driver: For a driver, the ideal RPM range is between 2,500 to 3,500 RPM. A higher RPM for a driver can result in a straighter and longer shot, but too high an RPM can result in a loss of distance.

  2. Fairway Woods: For fairway woods, the ideal RPM range is between 2,000 to 2,500 RPM. A lower RPM for fairway woods results in a more controlled shot, while a higher RPM can result in a loss of accuracy.

  3. Irons: For irons, the ideal RPM range is between 1,500 to 2,000 RPM. A lower RPM for irons results in a more controlled shot with a lower trajectory, while a higher RPM can result in a loss of accuracy.

  4. Wedges: For wedges, the ideal RPM range is between 1,200 to 1,500 RPM. A lower RPM for wedges results in a more controlled shot with a higher trajectory, while a higher RPM can result in a loss of accuracy.

  5. Putters: For putters, the ideal RPM is between 200 to 300 RPM. A low RPM for putters results in a smoother and more controlled putting stroke, while a higher RPM can result in a loss of accuracy.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the ideal RPM for a golf ball will vary based on the individual player and the conditions of the course. The best way to determine the ideal RPM for your game is to experiment with different speeds and track your results to see what works best for you.
