Let me know which shot your struggle with the most out of these! For me 90% of golfers are missing a trick here!

This is the second channel I’ve seen this exact process. This did work wonders for me because in addition to hitting this nice fade, I also developed fantastic contact with the ball. My fats and thins went bye bye. Just beautiful crisp baby fades. It works if you practice this.

[simondolph]

Magic. Clear and comprehensive instruction on stance, ball position, where the club should be at address and particularly where the face should be in relation to the target path. I haven't seen this before and it works! Thank you Alex!

[SLICKW]

I was slicing the ball with driver. The instructor had me do something similar to hit a draw. Definitely works! I’ve never hit better drives in my life.

[jrshields]

My typical shot is a baby draw. I started with a slice and have had so much fear trying to hit a fade because I was such a slicer previously.
I’m going to try this to developing a fade. Thanks!

As I am on my 4th year of golf, I recently just learned how to hit a draw and fade on command with my irons.. I can’t do it with my driver yet but we can work on that next.

I think this is such a valuable lesson to learn about how swing path & face manipulation can really make the difference in a golf swing. I NEVER go for a straight shot anymore, I always shoot for the draw because that’s the most comfortable.

One big thing that wasn’t mentioned here is how as a newer golfer you can help this by wrist angle and adjusting your grip to help make the wrist angle easier to get to.

I don’t have any trouble drawing the ball, it’s a natural shot for me, probably why my game sucks most of the time, once the hooks start it’s pretty much game over .People that have a fade or going into a slice seem to have more control and a better crap game .I have been playing this frustrating sport for years now and I am never going to or want to overhaul my swing for something that is just a hobby, what I try to do is control my natural swing path but it’s very difficult sometimes .People often say they wish they had a natural draw, belive me you are better off with a fade, once the hooks start your bringing shank into play which is something I’ve never ever completely got rid off .Still love the game though would just like a bit more consistency, . Going to try to get out more next season .

[henrikravn]

Face angel should always be half of club path.
Club path = 5 => Face angle = 2.5
Club path -6 => Face angle = -3.
The bigger the number = bigger fade/draw (depending om + or - path)

[joeb]

So easy to understand Alex! You’re VERY good at this. Thanks

[andyspey]

Recently went for a lesson with pro who has been only teacher who has highlighted my flat swing would be more consistent if I tried playing for a draw with irons . Used starting lines and sim points as you did in video. Been 0:02 trying with mixed results, driver not an issue consistently a baby fade . 🤷‍♂️Great visual alignment help in video 👍

[jackbenson]

This is exactly how i learnt it myself after hours and hours in the range, i noticed the stance change made the biggest difference before anything else

back foot forward naturally brang in a fade for me
back foot back helped a draw

crazy how the brain changes your swing specifically on your setup and that ball flight is to die for

great video!

The first golf instruction book I read in the mid-80s was “Golf My Way” by Nicklaus which is still, after reading literally hundreds of other golf books over the years, has the most straight-forward explanation of why a golfer should learn to always try to shape shots with “slice” or “hook” spin on the ball but in a controlled manner which steers it back to an intended target in the center with a ( “fade” or “draw” ). There was no need to learn “swing laws and 9 different paths the ball could take — six of them missing the intended target— just two: fade and draw.

Why shape shots? Jack explained it wasn’t just to curve Driver off the tee around doglegs it was to improve the odds of keeping approach shots, especially with longer irons, on the putting surface by first evaluating the longest distance between front edge and the day’s pin position and the shape of the green to either land the ball with left to right spin and movement towards the hole after landing / with a fade, or right-to-left action \ with a draw.

With cleverly designed golf holes the choice between hitting “fade” or “draw” off the tee on Par 3, or the approach shots on Par 4 and 5 holes changes depending on pin placement. Most pin placements favor a high fade [What Jack’s swing style made easy] because it stops he ball on the green like a ‘lawn dart’ when hit well. But earlier this year I got an Eagle on a par 5 with a ‘hard’ draw starting my ball so far to the right of the green a playing partner said, “Do you realize you are aiming at that house over there? (well right of the green).

The guy making the comment was in his late 60s and had never in his life even tried to shape a shot. Me? After reading Jack’s book I almost never try to hit one straight. My stance line was about 20° to the right of where I wanted the ball to land, not at the flag, but on the very front edge of the long right-to-left green angled 45° \ to the fairway. I had the face of my 5 iron closed about 15° and aimed at the inside of the ball. It flew exactly as planned in a right to left curve in the air, hit front right on the green then rolled 50 feet straight into the hole. 😊

I’m 72 and learned to hit shots like that (thanks to Jack) in the 1980s and had so much fun doing it I never stopped trying. I finally got very good at it from age 55 when I retired from the US Foreign Serviced and went to work part time (at min. wage) at a nine hole par 35 former golf academy where the perk was unlimited range balls and golf rounds, most I played solo to work on my shot shaping skills. When closing the course at night I’d follow an hour behind the last group with the greenskeeper’s ball mark repair tool, one iron or wedge and a bag of 30 Pro V1 balls (I found hundreds of them in the woods) and would hit 10 straight, 10 fade, and 10 drawn shots to the center of the green on each hole, marking the balls with S, F, D to evaluate the results, then fixing mine and all the other ball marks which the guy mowing the green the next morning appreciated. That’s how I was able to dial in my fade, draw and straight distances and experiment see how much a ball can be shaped back to target.

With a urethane cover three + layer ball it is possible to open / close stance by as much as 45° and get the ball to curve back to center. Golfer’s slice that much unintentionally 😂 Trevino’s quip “I can talk to a Fade but a Draw doesn’t listen” reflects the fact it is much easier to put “slice” spin on a ball with open stance / slightly less open face than it is to close stance and face with longer irons but it is possible to get some wicked “hook” spin and a lot of controlled ‘draw’ action on a ball which has a high coefficient friction hit with sufficient ‘hammer-like’ compression on the face by closing a PW like a 7i and striking it as hard as humanly possible like you are ‘chopping wood’ not trying to sweep the floor [how most recreational golfers think a golf swing works].

The thing I love most about the game, because I can shape shots, is trying to out think the designer of the courses I play. I’ve read biographies of the great classic designers and what their mindsets were. Golf is a metaphor for trench warfare with the designer the defender who knows how golfers at different skill levels play and miss— noobs to the right, pros to the left 50-100 yards further off the tee—and that advanced players do know how to shape shots but recreational golfers don’t—which is why most recreational golfers never come close to shooting a par round.

Playing a new course for first time I look at the par distances and pick the tees which are 180 yards from the longest one, what I can still reach with a 3i fade or 5i draw and which experience has shown gives me a reasonable chance for par or no worse than bogie on the par 4s and 5s.

Just saw this video. Trouble with iron shots lately so look forward to working hard on this tip!!! Thank you.

[TobascoHotSauce]

Terrific instruction! Graphics were the best also.

[TheOlesb]

Just started watching it and so far it holds true.
Haven't had a lesson yet

[ZebraFox]

Great video Alex! I'm right handed and for 52 years, I've always played to hit the ball straight, so just recently, at this old age LOL, I started practicing fades and draws in my front yard hitting foam golf balls. I'm having a problem pulling some of my draws. I'll hit a few good shots than I'll pull a few.

[johnbrumfield]

Awesome explanation and instructions!!!! What flight monitor is that!!!?

[kevinfotsch]

Nice video very clear education on how to hit a draw on a fade. Thanks.

[chadthompson]

You are by far the best instructor on YouTube. Thx

[FrodeAndreasBrurbergHansen]

Since I’m drawing the ball naturally often too much, would you also recommend a fade setup like this to get it more straight/reduce the draw? You are making really great videos 🙌🏼
