After players learn the very basics of hitting the ball in Mario Golf: Super Rush, they may want to start getting a bit fancier with their shots. One way to do that is to add some spin to the ball, and indeed that can produce some desirable results. For those fans that may need some clarification on exactly how to add spin in Mario Golf: Super Rush, this guide contains full details on both topspin and backspin.

To get right to it, Mario Golf: Super Rush players that want to add topspin or backspin to their balls should start their shots as they always do: by pressing A to activate the shot meter. However, these fans should not simply press A a second time when they are ready to stop that meter, as doing so will lead to a standard shot. Instead, they should press A twice for topspin, B once for backspin, or B twice for super backspin.

A demonstration of both of these effects can be seen in the following video, and it should make it quite easy for players to immediately incorporate topspin and backspin into their games.

To note, spin is not the only way for fans to alter their shots, as it is also possible to curve them. That is done by press the left joystick in the desired direction of the curve before a Mario Golf: Super Rush character's club contacts the ball, and it has some very useful applications. Specifically, curving a shot can be a great way to deal with the game's various obstacles and hazards, and fans are advised to spend a bit of time mastering this mechanic.

Of course, simply learning how to add spin to shots and how to curve them does not guarantee that a fan will find victory on the green.
