After reading several posts in this thread: http://www.golfrewind.com/golf-tips/33337-chip-skip-stop-shot.html I decided to ask everyone a few questions regarding how they hit the ball to get spin.

I started spinning the ball after I bought my first set of good clubs years ago, a set of Titleist DCIs (before they started numbering them). Now, I sweep the ball with almost every club in dry conditions, the exceptions being my wedges, and have no problem getting spin with a 6 iron (about the longest iron I can get to stop quickly).
For my purposes, we'll say that decent spin means stopping the ball within 5 feet of your divot, and a lot of spin means that you can back your 8 iron approach up if the green is relatively soft.

How do you get spin off your irons?
Can you get spin on your irons (not wedges)?
Do you get decent spin, or a lot of spin?
Last question - How long have you been playing?
