24 May 2014 - I Think I Figured out for Me "How to Fade The Ball or How to Draw The Ball"

I've struggled with fading the ball and drawing it has been impossible but today i think I found an easy way to do it with my current swing - no changes in setup.  Key is you gotta trust it and swing at that target not at the flag.

FADE:

  1. Grip the club as you would normally to hit the ball straight
  2. Pick a target LEFT of where you want the ball to go. (i.e. left edge of the green beside the flag)
  3. Aim at that left target as if you were going to hit it straight at that target
  4. Step into the shot fully aligned at that left target and ready to hit
  5. Then, loosen your grip enough to use your fingers to twist the club in your grip to turn the club and point the face at the flag (opening the club face)
  6. You might need to move a BIT closer to the ball
  7. Swing - focusing on the same swing you'd make to hit it straight at that left target
DRAW: 

  1. Grip the club as you would normally to hit the ball straight
  2. Pick a target RIGHT of where you want the ball to go. (i.e. right edge of the green beside the flag)
  3. Aim at that right target as if you were going to hit it straight at that target
  4. Step into the shot fully aligned at that right target and ready to hit
  5. Then, loosen your grip enough to use your fingers to twist the club in your grip to turn the club and point the face at the flag (opening the club face)
  6. You might need to move a BIT closer to the ball
  7. Swing - focusing on the same swing you'd make to hit it straight at that right target
