Incidentally, I'm not convinced the clubface completely dictates the line the ball starts on due to the length of impact between ball and face. You can put topspin on a tennis ball with the racket almost facing the floor. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong
The way to hit a "proper" draw is NOT with the face closed. The way to hit a proper draw is actually with the face open. With the use of Trackman, we've found that the club face is the main cause of where the ball starts, then it will spin away from the path. To hit a correct draw, you have to be swinging on an in to out path, with the face slightly open. The ball will start to the right and then curve back to the left. Look up the Trackman ball flight laws so you can see how to hit fades/draws.
@dschultz6072 No, when did I say that. Rhythm, tempo, timing are crucial. But why introduce extra timing elements into your technique, just through lack of understanding the ball flight laws. Snead would say "science and technology-use it to your advantage". Golf is timing and rhythm AND knowledge of ball flight laws and good technique.
"why not just close the face to start with if thats what you want and you take out the timing? "

Definitely agree.
starting with a square clubface and relying on your ability to time it so the clubface is slightly closed at impact is just adding another variable in there that would be pretty hard to do consistently.
Keeping your SWING consistent and just closing the club at address would seem to be the most consistent and easiest way to pull this off.
Its about 80% relation face 20% path

@gatornate5. Aim right with club face aimed at target. Simples!

Some good points on here. Good video but the comments are just as informative.

@cockywatchman1976 you think a good golf swing is absent of timing? wonder what sam snead would have to say about that.
"golf is timing and rhythm"

Great instruction. Really helped me think about the mechanics of creating a fade. Can't wait to try it out at the range tomorrow.
