Hey Shawn. Had a fitting yesterday. My face to path w irons was 0 and have no issues working the ball in either direction using your methods.
When I got to the woods and drivers my FTP was +2-3, and I can reliably fade these clubs but struggle to draw them.
Is it simply close the face more before I grip it? Get behind the hit more at address? Play the ball a smidge further back?
This is where I say that this is the reason why tour players prefer the fade over the draw; because of ball position more forward makes fade family and to draw against that feel more against the grain; this is where Hogan’s Diagonal stance comes in for the draw; see “important driver nugget” video
Thanks Shawn! I knew I wasn’t defective 🙂
So So Good, for someone who could never hit a draw , this is gold!
Hey Shawn, when you close the grip the “extreme” amount in this video, are you tilting the body only to square the club face at address? Or, are you rotating the forearm and tilting the body?
Also, during the extreme/45 degree closed hits is the club face square to the Arc Line or is it pretty closed in terms of the arc line. Thanks!
Hi James! The tilt is to get behind the ball and be in a good position to deliver through the ball and into the direction I want the ball to start; very much like a lumberjack getting ready to cut down a tree instead of getting ready to split wood straight down. If you watch Rory or Tommy Fleetwood through impact (all great players do this) as it is the only way to get deep through the ball and towards the target, you always see the constant of tilt away from the target but braced against the left side. See “tilt mile marker” and “important grip update” for that. As for the curvature to the left, yes, the face would be closed to the arc.
I am somewhat confused about working the ball instructions for fades and draws. Could you explain the recommended stance/swing path, ball position, and lastly clubface orientation at address for both a fade and the draw shot. thanks
Hi Dan, when you see the “working the ball” video, the draw will be this:
-take dead aim
-play ball back of centre
-release to the right of intermediate point
fade:
-aim left of target
-play ball forward of centre
-swing left of target where you are aimed
no manipulations, no steering, just task that way with a nice whipping momentum.
ball position is the secret!
Shawn
brilliant!
Hi Shawn most of your videos are you with irons or the driver most of my clubs are woods in this video when you say about the clubhead pointing down at the top of the backing would that be the same with a 11 wood will it be the same feel. Will you be making more videos with the fairway woods and hybrids i hit some balls into a net with a 3 wood the difference i got from bad to good was 75 club speed 130 yard carry to 114 clubhead speed 268 carry God knows what i was doing different maybe you do cheers Steve
