The back spin on a 5-iron would be lower than a 6-iron assuming that the angle of attack is the same and the 5-iron club hits the ball with less dynamic loft than the 6-iron. It is the technique of hitting down on the ball which is producing the increased spin. I hope that helps. Ed:

I always thought a 5 iron would have less spin than a 6 iron because a five iron has less loft. A descending attack angle affectively decreases the loft, so why would that not also decrease the spin. thanks In this article you explain that a descending attack angle will increase the back spin.

This will give you an optimum angle of attack every time.

However, the launch monitor should take this into account. But not sure which model you have. Sincerely, Jeff Summitt Hireko Golf Dave:

I use a launch monitor with a driver of a pre-measured and known loft, that way depending on the launch conditions and knowing the driver loft you can get at whether the attack is a 1 or 2 deg downward of level or upward. If you just put the measured clubhead speed into a trajectory program and then start varying the loft to find the best carry distance, without knowing the angle of attack, it is easy to spec the wrong loft driver.

I only wish you could have gone into a little of how better players will change their swing to vary the angle of attack depending on the situation, and how some players will change their wedges depending on the golf course...maybe next time.
