Yes

 

[chrisd]

My understanding is that any golf club (except putter) can ONLY put backspin on a ball. A ball curving left or right is still backspinning, but on a tilted axis.

If you reason that face angle and path determine whether a shot becomes a draw, fade or straight then you can apply the same logic to backspin/topspin.

The ball hasn't got a clue which way is up, only how it is hit.

Bubba hook out of the trees with a wedge to win his first Masters should give a clue.

Ball only really stays up in the air for any time due to backspin (aerodynamics)
