Golf Instruction Video #1 of 3 You see golf pros often play fade and draw golf shots during tournaments to achieve a more desirable result with the golf ball. How do they do that? There are different philosophies of instruction and you’ll have to decide which one you like. I personally like the way Jack Nicklaus Teaches it. If you have a good golf swing and can hit the golf ball straight already, the easiest way to hit a fade or a draw is by simply opening the golf club face or closing the golf club face. This golf instruction video shows how to pick a target line, setup for a golf shot and then execute it correctly. Consideration: 1: The more a club face is lofted, the less sidespin is applied. Very little sidespin is applied when opening the clubface of an 8 iron or higher for example. The ball just goes higher. 2: The less a clubface is lofted, the more sidespin is applied. Your driver has the leasts loft and the most ability to spin the ball sideways. When hitting a fade which requires opening the clubface, a 3 iron will apply more sidespin than an open clubface 7 iron.

ya the video is called how to hit draw / fade, not how to hit the ball straight. read first
i’m still pretty much a beginner and am still working on trying to hit it straight, but isn’t this more like hitting a hook/slice rather than draw/fade? i have yet to try it, but i was just curious
Thats a brillant teaching aid he is using. Really helps to visualize the process.
By opening the club face you also increase the loft. Oposite for closing the club face you decrease loft. You would have the make sure you pick 1 or 2 club sizes above or below depending.
A fade / draw is basically an intentional hook or slice…
I tried this several times, and I must be doing something wrong. When I tried to draw, all I got were low worm burners that went around 50 yards. the fade was even worse. the open clubface sent the ball almost horizontally to my left. (i golf leftie) I’d like to see this broken down on the actual course so that I can see what I’m doing or not doing.
When you give this instruction you should also include. when playing a fade open your stance, play the ball further forward in your stance and take 1 or two clubs extra…and focus on swinging more outside / in To hit a draw or hook take 1 or two less clubs because the ball will run out more, play the ball back further in your stance, close your stance and focus on swinging more inside / out.
im not trying to sound like an ass but what do you think this guy is talking about.
hes telling you to take you normal swing but just open or close the club face and to open or close your stance to the target
what you’re describing is a different method altogether. there are 2 basic methods; one which I describe and the other which you are referring to. Watch Jack Nicklaus “Golf My Way” and you’ll see where I got my information.
that would work, except you cant turn the club facing the target, cause when I try that the ball fades WAY TOO MUCH, hitting the object Im trying to go around, and thats aiming way to left of object in the way…. how far to left to aim for a fade shot , getting around a target, and the degree one opens the club face, is like geometry and I dont know that either….lol, BUT with the 3 wood Im doing better, just hitting a draw, closed face is harder….
LooooL in the bathroom…
no swing exactly the same dont swing more in to out or out to in thats bullshit
can anybody tell me howmany ball flight in a golf swing?
the hardest shot in golf is the straight shot.
why dont all the head pro teach all there student why the ball curve difrently when the club impact the ball,before they start to teach them the swing
@DigitalShaolin how do you release the golf club
@djtblizzle to do this the right way you have to swing the club in a straight path back to the ball. bad news that the swing path 99percent golfer dont have or cant not do
@AGameGolf i want to know what kind of swing path the golden bear have ?
This is teaching how to hit slice and hook…not fade and draw
Wonderful tutorial. Straight forward and easy to follow. I can’t wait to hit the range and try this out. Thanks!
@MrAsiangolf well i believe golf is a very interesting game because theres just not one way to do unlike cathing a ball or throwing it, id say there are four majojr shot in golf, draw, right to left, and the hook majorly right to left and usually goes lower, then fade, left to right, and slice majorly left to right. Now shots can also have different ball paths in terms of how high the ball goes. This is determined by where the ball is placed in the stance, low farther back in the stance, ect.
@MrAsiangolf now with a draw if you hit near the heel of the club (nearest to the shaft) the ball will go higher but maybe not as far oppisite with the fade, hit of the toe (farthest from the shaft the ball with go higher. good luck figuring it out. ; )
This works well for me when hitting a fade, I actually just used it yesterday hitting a 3 iron to get away from some trees and onto the green. But I always just hit the ball straight or hit a slight draw when trying to draw it with this method.
@djtblizzle The reason the ball goes left is because the face has more of an influence over the initial starting direction than the path. You are not doing it wrong, the information is a bit misleading. Just remember: Aim the FACE where you want the ball to start and let your path help curve the ball. The ball usually curves away from the direction of the path (if off plane).
I have a had a lot of trouble hitting the ball straight of the tee, switching from a slice to a fade, despite having little trouble with my irons normally. A friend of mine recommended that I learn to draw and fade of the tee, and forget about trying to hit straight. I tried a few different techniques on the range. This technique was the best for me. I’ve played 36 holes since, and have been almost perfect off the tee!! Pick a line, and set-up for a draw or a fade! I have taken ten strokes off!
