adding spin

how do u add spin on your golf shot . ill ask cus the greens are very hard at the mo and when u land on them thay go out the back and dont hold. so i have to play short and roll up on the green. all views very welcome

Downwards strike, ball before turf.  The ball should always be struck like this mind.....

There are two questions here.

1. How to spin a Full Shot.

and

2. How to spin a Chip-shot.

I have a few 'shots' at my disposal which are not in most text books.

When confronted with a ball sat in longish grass close to a green, play it like a bunker shot.

When you want to put spin on a chip-shot make sure you keep the clubhead low through the ball, this allows the ball to zip more up the grooves. This may not be easily digested from words but I hope you all understand what I am meaning.

It is no use trying to hit a low zip chip off a wet fairway because it just doesn't work, you need a hard surface in order to squeeze the ball and generate extra spin.
