Hitting right to left and vice verse

Hi,

I want to learn the basic fundaamentals behind hitting the ball right to left Draw and left to right fade.

I had a bit of practice at the range the other day and it was not too bad hitting a draw.

I want to know how open or close your stance and the club head should be.

I am considering some lessons but I thought let me understand the basics first.

Thanks

Hitting you ball straight will save you so many shots that I think this is what you need to concentrate on. It doesn't matter if it has a slight fade/draw, try to keep you ball as straight as you can.

Once you can do this correctly then try to add a draw/fade. This will help when playing around obstacles, etc.

If you really want to hit a draw/fade then get on the practice ground/driving range.

I was told/read that to hit a draw you should aim your clubface where you want the ball to go, then address the ball with a closed stance. Move the ball back to the middle of your stance. Then all you have to do is concentrate on swing the club in line with your body. Everything else will take care of itself.

To hit a fade, simply do the opposite. Aim the clubface at your target. Address the ball with an open stance. Move the ball further forward in your stance. Again swing your club along the line of your body.

Good luck with this.
