Please go into more depth on this as i don't believe it...more loft = more spin all else being equal, so how does a 5 iron put the more spin on a ball than a 60* wedge?
Spin is a combination of club head speed and loft so a 5 iron actually puts more spin on the ball due to length of clubshaft, if both clubs were the same length and swung at the same speed that would not be the case.
