Playing a fade with a shallow swing

Couple things here

  • don’t EVER take advice from someone without video. Goes double for taking advice from reddit and triple for taking advice from reddit without video

-is the ball starting straight, left or right before it draws? If it’s starting straight or left and then going left, you’re more likely slightly double crossing it (swinging out to in with a closed face) which is a common surprise for people battling a slice/fade.

  • all respect to your gameplan, but if I were you I would work towards making everything neutral (alignment, swing path, hitting straight) before I worked on moving the ball around. I know it feels sexy to hit a draw or fade on command but you’re not gonna be using these skills until you’re a much better player and quite frankly I see a lot of amateurs totally fuck up their game trying to learn to work the ball with a swing that has poor mechanics (not saying you have poor mechanics). To work the ball on the golf course CONSISTENTLY, you have to start with a neutral swing and adjust from there. If you normally hit a big cut and you’re trying to draw the ball, the adjustments you have to make are extreme enough that you won’t be consistent or able to control the draw.
