| You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work -- Lee Trevino |
| The easiest way to fade the ball is to simply open your stance. For right-handed players, simply set up with your feet, hips and shoulders facing about 20 degrees left of your normal alignment; and allow your swing plane to follow the line (or path) of your feet. Mechanically, you will be creating a swing plane from out to in (picture Lee Trevino) that will move the ball from left to right. The easiest way to practice and learn this shot is to use a club to help you by laying the shaft down along the ground along your feet and practice swinging the club along that path. www.birdgolf.com |
