The Fade Shot
June 4, 2008
Well if you’re not familiar with the Fade shot it’s where the ball starts left and moves right through the air.
So how do you play it..?
Firstly set your clubface square to the ball, remember to hold the club very tight in you’re bottom three fingers as this will mean you release the club slightly later thus creating the right-to-left trajectory.
Secondly aim your body and feet left to the target but still keep your clubface square to the ball. With everything aiming left this should automatically create an out-to-in swing, which is perfect for the Fade shot.
Follow thorugh..
Make sure you come across the ball on the downswing and the ball will go left and come back to your target. It is hard to perfect the spin on this shot but when it comes off it is great to watch and play.
This shot is good when you have a dog-leg hole, you now can swing the ball round the corner and leave yourself an easier shot to the hole.
