    Just a quick inquiry, does shaft spin (low spin, high spin, etc) effect both backspin and side spin of the ball, or is it only limited to the backspin? I understand that sidespin comes from the angle of the club path and the angle of the face at impact, but I can't quite reason in my head how this all works. In other words, how exactly does the shaft effect the sidespin of the golf ball? Thanks!

    Matthew, 

    If the shaft happens to be too soft or weak for the player, then you could tend to see inconsistent performance.  This can cause the shaft to bend and twist through impact, which will have a direct influence on the club head and how it impacts the ball's spin.  The torque, weight, and flex of the shaft will all have an impact on the spin of the ball.
