Quick question. I use a distance ball, Maxfli Noodle, because it seems to
really reduce my slice and I get nice straight drives. However, I miss the
spin around the greens. Is there a way to get spin from my wedges with a
distance ball? Maxfli makes a Noodle spin ball, but every time I experiment
with a ball that promotes spin, my slice comes back.

Hi Jeff,
It makes sense that a ball designed for spin will increase a slice if you are not contacting the ball squarely. I have to assume you are a low handicapper who plays only plush courses, because most average golfers play in firmer conditions where it is harder to appreciate the advantage of a spin ball around the greens. If you happen to be playing on firm conditions, use the distance ball because the spin ball may not work anyway in firm conditions. If conditions do favor the spin ball, you can reduce your slice by using a little bit stronger grip (I assume you know what that means, if not, the V's formed by your thumbs and forefinger point more toward your back shoulder).
