And if I ever figure out how to pull an approach shot backwards, or even get it to stop on a green will be the time I will go for a higher spin ball.

. . . am envious of anyone who can do that and am envious of anyone who can actually feel a ball. they all just "clank" to me. .

but if you hit straight off the tee and hit greens regularly, I would think a higher spin ball would help your green placement of the ball. . so spend $50 to buy a box of higher spin balls and play with them and see!
