This guy deserves more subscribers. Watching his videos gives me the same vibe I got from the instructional videos of 90s I had on VHS....

Juan, Thanks. Ball position would vary amongst players. Middle to a little forward of middle generally

Love your video regarding fade, however do I need to regrip my hands ?

Thanks John. Regards grip, I believe it's personal choice. Ball responds to clubface, not grip. That said, find a grip that makes it as easy as possible to hit the shot you want. All best, Adam

One more question. How about ball position? I have always tried to use a consistent position for all clubs and move my right foot. Do I need to move it up farther for a fade???

I have many times wondered, if you swing outside in and cut across the ball, but the club face to pointing at the target at impact, will the ball start out a little left of the target line, due to the ball being compressed onto the club face, or will the ball start out directly at the target before it starts fading. To look at it like he did in this video, if you open your stance and swing along the line of your feet, but the club face is pointing at the target at impact, will the ball start out slightly left of the target due to the ball being compressed against the club face, or will it start out on the target line (assuming that the target line is left of the flag on the green). Good Regards Luke

Luke, The general rule is that the ball will start between clubface direction and swing path, but MUCH closer to clubface angle. Therefore if clubface as aimed at target at impact ball will start too near target line to accommodate the fade (or reverse it for a draw). So, for instance if swing path was 7 degrees left and clubface was 3 degrees left (4 degrees open to the path), that would likely cause a fade that ENDED UP on the target line (approx numbers). I hope this helps

Love your teaching style Adam.I am starting to master the fade and draw with most of my irons,but I have a lot of difficulty though achieving a deliberate fade with my wedges and short irons.I tend to draw up to my 8 iron.When I do get a fade happening I tend to lose a lot of distance,up to 20 yards sometimes.Is that normal?

@Scratchgolfacademy

Thanks. Yes, that's normal, because lofted clubs strike the ball nearer the bottom (south pole) of the ball, therefore they can't curve shots as much as less lofted clubs. Also you'd be adding loft when you try to fade a short iron. If it's of interest all my content is organized and free at www.scratchgolfacademy.com Best, Adam

Good video! I have a have a tough time hitting a fade,(a draw is my normal shot). When I open the face and line my body left just a little bit with a iron I only just hit the ball higher,how do I fade it.

It's hard to curve lofted clubs, but mid irons should work. I'd over do it, hit some huge slices, then work back from there. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

Don't sell yourself short, it's just a stick and a ball. Clubface open in relationship to swing path equals a slice. You can do it! Best of luck, Adam

When I try to hot a cut with an iron when I open the face a little bit all I do is hit it higher

At impact the face must not be open enough. Keep trying. Best, Adam

Does a forward ball position promote a fade ?

@Scratchgolfacademy

6 жыл бұрын

It has the effect of making the path (direction club is swinging in) at impact more left of the target line. If you use this adjustment it should only be a subtle one. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

This may cause shank to me.
