I have a spin issue too. I get some spin on the shots you describe, my lob from 80 stops usually within one foot from where it lands. (which I am fine with, I'm no pro)

I get huge spin on par threes where i hit off a short tee (1/8 inch teed up) this can cause problems when the flag is back, cause if I hit a 7 or 8 iron to the pin, it will spin back 20 30 40 feet depending on slope of the green. If I hit off the tee box (no tee) the spin is much less, sometimes even get a release. This leads me to beleive that 10-18 h-caps like you and I just dont strike the ball quite a crisply as needed (off the ground) to generate the pro spin most of the time.

BTW my gear Pro V1X, C-Way Irons, 40 dollar clearance 60 degree LW (Dont think this really matters unless the grooves are packed with mud.)

Good luck.... but I think knowing what the ball will do when it lands is a big plus. The only issue I can see you having is clearing a hazard with the pin just beyond. (you would like it to stick or come back for you)
