Backspin

Question
When i watch the pga tour on tv i see players hit bals that land on the green and sometimes have 10 ft of backspin. usually when i hit the green it either sits right where it lands or bounces in the air and rolls back an inch or two. I was wondering how i can get a ton of backspin like the pros. Is it a certain type of ball or club or what? thank you

The answer is you can't until you become a Pro too.  Do you know how many balls they have hit in their lives to achieve stuff like that?  The answer to your question is simple:  solid contact and speed.  That is the actual answer.  But until you have hit millions of golf balls working on perfecting your swing like they have, please don't worry about it.  If your ball sits where it is and / or comes back an inch or two, congratulations.  Most golfers (literally) cannot do that, so you are way ahead of the game.  Work on chipping and putting and lower your score.  You get plenty of backspin.
