Instruction on how to hit draws, fades and straight golf shots. For personal shot tracking, game analysis and tailored video instruction visit http://www.mysmartgolf.com.
The lessons from Josh have really helped my game. I am a Jim Hardy OPSer and hearing the teachings explained another way has helped me. However, you cannot put side spin on a golf ball, When the ball runs up the face of the club it spins backwards. It is the high and low pressure cells created by the ball spinning that creates lift. The angle of orientation of the spin axis causes the ball to curve left or right, not side spin. The angle of orientation is caused by the face position at at impact
This explanation of shot shaping is [very] wrong based on, you know, physics. This lesson is a case of "feel" vs. "real". It may feel like you are impacting the ball in those quadrants, but if you actually did you would get duck hooks and what would look like shanks. The club ALWAYS impacts the ball square to the line the starts on. If the club is moving right to left of this line, or outside to in it will result in a fade/slice. Vice versa for a draw/hook.

Thanks Josh. I think all your instruction videos are straightforward and they make perfect sense to me.

Looks brilliant - totally makes more sence that way as opposed to hitting the inside for a draw and outside for fade!

Innovative use of an impact bag!
