  Change the ball. That slow meter costs you in the spin department. And don't aim left when you hit the line before the ding. The line before the ding just straightens out the shot that normally goes right if you ding it.

  I think you will guarantee more spin by hitting the ding as well and aiming left although probably not much in it.  I went through a patch of doing it that way but used to the "old fashioned" way which works - aim left and ding.

  Although a L61 Nike should be ok which is what you have now I think I saw.  Sadly  though a L14 club on tourney speed you will struggle..............I am not an ATV user but some who use HL ATVs flop very well of course.  With my HL Cleve ,good ball and FBS a flop will, short of nutso stuff, the ball will STOP.

  My 60 yard lvl 80 Cleveland stops a flopped free ball on a dime. The 80 yard wedge performs about as well. It's the 100yard wedge where I'm having some (a lot) trouble. The free ball runs quiet a bit.

  Did you try neutral spin ?

  my lvl 30 something atv (64)  flops 15, and it will go 15 with full bks.

  you just need to adjust ,if it is up or downhill. 

  I use the 61 nike , it will roll 1 yard or 2 on a flat surface , so you need to adjust for the elevation.

  During free rentlas my max wedges worked perfectly, backspin worked every single time.

  So i decided to buy the wedge, now ..... the ball does not have that same backspin as i wanted or seen it have when getting out of short rough range

  Relate some of your experiences and it'll be easier to explain how the different roughs affect what you're trying to do. Rough robs the spin in different ways, depending on the shot you're trying to execute.
