Re: Backspin
Yeah, pro v1 will spin far more than an nxt tour. Anyway, with regard to full shots, compression and solid ball->turf contact is crucial.
For greenside spin (pitches and chips), wedge grooves play an important part in spin and you'll find that using a high lofted wedge with aggressive grooves will definitely make a difference. I get more than enough spin with my 60* tour issue Y-cutter but good retail choices are Spin milled vokeys, Eidolon (really loved these) and Cally X-tour (MD grooves).
Use a soft cover ball like pro v1 and a wedge like I mentioned above, learn to make crisp, solid contact on your partial wedge shots and you will see more check on most greens. That being said, I prefer a nice little 1 bounce, check and release shot in most cases. Spin isn't everything. Best of luck.
