Hi Shawn! I have a question regarding something I’ve noticed in my own drives. With a very closed face (like I am driving a nail in the ground with the ACU straight in front of me) I would predominantly hit a fade. I attributed it to the fact that my takeaway was more outside. If I am intentionally trying to hit a draw, I would leave the face in the same condition, bring my takeaway more inside and would occasionally get a draw or a straight draw/hook. This was happening roughly for the past six weeks. So I focused more on a fade with my driver, as it was more predictable. Then attempting to hit the fade with what I perceived to be the same takeaway as what I had been previously doing, it was a mixed bag of snap hook/straight draw and planned fade. So I first attempted to open the face a little ((looking at the face with my ACU straight in front of me)from 10 o’clock to 11) attempting to keep the same outside takeaway, I would end up with a wild slice. Would it make sense to keep my club face closed the same amount for both fade and draw while changing ball position, takeaway, and release? I have Goldilocksed this for both and find that if I really exaggerate and focus on the draw release, I get the draw I’m looking for.
Hi Brad! Look at you go man, great stuff! You are dancing around it and we just need to clear up a couple things:
1-the swing is an arc for both fades and draws
2-we use body alignment to direct the flow of the momentum-arc in the direction we want to start the ball, then grip and club relationship as well as ball position need to match the visual and feel of how you want the ball to fly.
Then we allow momentum to track the arc in that direction to release the tee into that summersault (specific task in a specific direction with feel of momentum doing the job easily)
Looking forward to digging in at our next session! Keep doing what you are doing and get some more feedback and see if a couple patterns emerge!
Sean, I am having a heck of a time turning my driver over. I have my intermediate line and target and either pull hook, or push. Any of the many videos you recommend starting with? Center face contact. Thank you.
Sorry… *Shawn (sp)
Hi Chris! A bit difficult to diagnose without seeing it but there are a couple more options I want you to consider:
1-diagonal stance series; please do both draw and fade and tell me which one works best with that stance
2-driver for accuracy video; where you tee it low and deliver like a fairway wood
let me know how you do!
