The Golf Fade Shot ?Tips – How to Hit a Fade

The Golf Fade Shot ?Tips – How to Hit a Fade

Most weekend Golfers hit a fade naturally or its ugly sister the slice. The fade is a higher hit shot than the draw and doesn’t run far when it lands. It’s the perfect shot to play into the heart of a green because it stops quickly and lands softly.

Lee Trevino was the master of the fade shot and he once said he can make the ball hit the green like a butterfly with sore feet. The one thing that should be remembered with this shot is that it will cost you a bit of distance. So you should remember to go up one or two clubs to make up for the loss.

To set up for the fade, I would first keep my stance open, by this I mean that your feet hips and shoulders should all be aiming slightly to the left of your target. With this stance it will encourage an out to in swing path for the club head. This will in turn create a clockwise spin on the golf ball.

You should next set up and adjust your grip. At this point take a look at how you normally grip the club. If you tend to hook the ball, the chances are that you have a strong grip i.e. your hands are turned to the right of the grip and you can see three knuckles of your left hand.

For the fade shot it is required that you use a weaker grip where the left hand is turned slightly to the left on the golf grip. If you already slice the ball you may not need to move your grip so much. Just aiming your body left of target might just be enough for this shot.

The final part of the set up is the ball position relative to where you would normally play it. I you normally hit a straight ball you should place the ball about one ball width further forward in your stance. This will allow you to hit the fade with a bit more height on the ball.

So the key points to hitting the fade are to set up with your body aligned slightly left of target with the club aligned to the target. Your grip should be weaker or turned slightly to the left on the grip. The ball position should be brought slightly forward in your stance.

Being able to fade the ball is quite useful in a variety of situations and it is essential if you ever want to improve your game.

The best clothes for a golf outing found online

The best clothes for a golf outing found online

Article by Carl Liver







Golf is such a picturesque sport, such a physical, hands-on event that few think about golf and online activities. Except for that putting game you play when the boss isn’t around, but that’s different. And while outside in the sunshine and elements is the best way to think about golf, when you are looking for golf clothing, the best place to look is online.One reason to look online for golf shirts or golf gloves is the selection. At a brick and mortar golf store, most of the space is devoted to the golf clubs. Those are their biggest sellers after all and they devote most of their space to those drivers, putters and wedges. This leaves them little room for the apparel that is also important in the game. An online stockist will not have such limitations. He can provide as much space as necessary and still carry more than enough shirts and gloves to meet your needs.

Another reason for the online destination for your golf clothing is price. Most golf stores are located in shops with a thin margin for profit. Since they must squeeze every pound out of the space they occupy, they must charge the greatest mark-up for all their products. The accessories are no exception. However, in an online store, there are no such margins and mark-ups necessary. They are free to charge less because they can.

Some may be wary of an online stockist for golf shirts or golf gloves because fit is everything, especially with the gloves. However, a good online retailer will make returns easy and painless. Once you have found an online golf shop that can fit you right and gives you a great price, you know you can stick with that gentleman for future purchases.Most golfers love the idea of standing in the store, a club in their hand and imagining that perfect shot. While that is nice, there are other considerations when purchasing the clothing that will accompany your next perfect day and perfect game. Get the clubs at the store and get your clothing at the online stockist.

Is Your Golf Up To Scratch? – Part 2

Is Your Golf Up To Scratch? – Part 2

Let’s see how we can apply this technique throughout your game. OK, you’re standing on the first tee, choosing your line and there’s a persistent thought of “don’t hook it into the trees”. What usually happens when you’re thinking this? Yes…golf balls always do what they are told; you are thinking about hooking into the trees and you do exactly that. Yes, I know, I can hear you saying “BUT I thought DON’T hook into the trees”. Your inner mind does not pay any attention to the “don’ts” of this world.

Whatever you are thinking about you are giving energy to, and energy is transmitted out into the atmosphere and attracts exactly what you are thinking about into your life. This is the law of attraction. Put another way, as you are thinking “Don’t hook it into the trees” you are at the same time inadvertently creating a picture in your mind of the ball going into the trees and also attaching a lot of energy to that picture because you feel a bit agitated about it; and so the ball goes into the trees. In fact, the ball went exactly where you inadvertently planned for it to go. This is how talented your mind is. If you ever doubted the fact that 90% of golf is played in the mind, this phenomenon is undeniable proof!

What can you do to stop this happening? You can recognize that you are thinking about hooking into the trees, create a picture of it intentionally, then move that picture to one side, shrink it, drain the color out, crumple it up and put it in the bin; and then, create a big, bright, clear picture in your mind’s eye of the golf ball landing where you want it to, sitting up nicely on the fairway.

You can also use this technique of “binning the negatives” when you have played a less than perfect shot or missed a putt. Create a picture of it and bin it. Then re-run in your mind’s eye the perfect shot, or the perfect putt. This is a great post-shot routine to adopt, and extremely effective, because your mind will only be recording good golf shots, thereby making the likelihood of great shots more compelling, whilst at the same time literally erasing poor shots from your mind. Thus your golfing confidence builds more quickly and easily than ever, and as the title of Dr Bob Rotella’s book states “Golf is a game of confidence”.

Getting back to your New Golf Season’s resolutions and making them probable instead of possible, you should now have a clear, in-focus, bright and compelling picture of you achieving your golfing goals. This is vitally important because whatever you imagine you can create.

The next question to ask is what do you need to do to get to that point? What do you need to do physically and also mentally? From a mental perspective, the consistent application of the “binning the negatives” technique will transform your game, not to mention your life in general. You will be focusing on what you want to happen, rather than what you don’t. You will be aware of choosing where you want the golf ball to go and intentionally sending it there. You will now be in control of your thoughts and their resultant effect on the golf ball.

It’s also worth examining your thought processes whenever a shot doesn’t quite work out. Ask yourself were you thinking clearly and precisely? Did you picture what you wanted? Or was your focus drifting off at a tangent? Or did you simply stand up to the ball and hit it without planning? Or did you stand over the ball for ages with a myriad of thought competing for your attention?

I’ll wager a bet that 90% of your “bad” shots are caused by “bad” thoughts. Check this out for yourself. If your own statistics reflect this percentage, then it follows that you have the ability, you have the talent, to hit this percentage of your “bad” shots perfectly simply by being aware of your thoughts and choosing to think clearly. That’s got to be an easier way to get your handicap down than changing your swing, don’t you agree?

Your subconscious mind will always work towards a goal that has been visualized in your mind’s eye. Your energy is being directed towards it, whether that goal is long term (as in your New Golf Season’s Resolution) or short term (your next shot). You have the ability to use your mind to achieve your golfing goals easily and effortlessly. You also have to plan in a physical sense towards your goal; you’re not going to improve without playing, so you have to put the time in as well. You’ll not put time in unless you find that its fun, so make sure that it is fun.

Golf is a game, it’s meant to be enjoyed. You, and nobody else, are the creator of your destiny and the master of your golf game, so long as you choose to be. You will find that hypnosis downloads or golf hypnosis cds will help you immensely in mastering your golf mind and taking control of your destiny.
