Eric and one of the GOATs!!!! Love this!!
I live with a left miss, so this is nice to have as a swing thought and setup. I would love to fade the ball!
Do you still position the ball at your lead heel?
I tee it low and hit draws.
I cant draw the ball at all, I have started hitting a power fade and hit it as far as ever, shot 72 yesterday Eric.
My natural swing is a fade. For years I tried to hit a draw and just couldn't do it consistently, so I spoke to a buddy of mine who, happens to be a State of Georgia, USA hall of famer, and he told me to stop trying to hit a draw and accept my fade swing. Once I did that my game took off. Own yiour natural swing and learn to do it consistently. Cheers.
Always fantastic
I have gone up and down I used to hit the fade but it was leaky and sometimes hit trees left before it came back around now I hit draws but I hook it, now I am going back to a nice low cut that is controllable…
I hit the inside quarter to both draw and fade it…I never start the ball left (actually right since I am a lefty). It's hideous to hit the inside of the ball if you are trying to start it left, correct…but it you don't have to hit pull fades to fade it.
Interesting idea, will give that a shot. I typically hit a fade anyways but lowering the ball is interesting. So when standing more on the right side of where you setup , what does that do when standing more on the right side?
Wow what an energy!
The main thing is controlling your shot!!! It doesn't matter is you fade or draw if you use it to stay in the middle of the fairway. I aim right of target and draw it or just aim straight right.
The most important thing when hitting a fade, is to make sure you hit a fade.
Really nice clip! Thank you both.
I don't care what you say. There is little more beautiful than a lovely draw down the fairway.
I'd like to see this shot being hit with a strong wind that's into and off the left with OB on the right. That's the prevailing wind on my course for a couple of tough holes and my fade, which I hit well and consistently is DANGEROUS for those holes. I don't think this is a good play for me in those situations
As a lefty, if left is OB teeing up on the left side feels scary. Would you tee up left and aim fairly right?
What about ball position and grip?
I created a swing called the anti slice swing, I can take one side out of the equation, my parents destroyed my life and I was dedicated myself to solving problems, getting low and swinging across turns it into a one plane swing
Thank you!! Every coach tries to tell you Draw is the only way. I ended up birding a par 5 using a fade since my swing is naturally more out to in.
Great teaching – period. Simple swing thoughts. Coincidentally on the Nick Faldo comments, laying the wrist back with the right shoulder coming through is the same in tennis, baseball, etc.
How about a draw…. On the same line
when i was newer to golf, i couldn't hit my driver without hitting a big fat slice. i got better and was able to hit it straighter but as i learned to swing in to out i developed a massive hook. i never slice it anymore and if i dont hit my driver well its either a low screaming hook that runs into the woods or a massive push off the face of the earth. the misses i have with my in to out path are way way worse than the misses i had with my slice. i wish i had my slice back
