@DRapontheTee Calling fritolaytwists an "idiot" was totally unnecessary. He is quite right in terms of how to practically produce the effect. Most pros will teach you to aim your target line where you want the ball to start and aim the clubface where you want it to finish... before gripping the club. The ball may indeed start where the clubface aims at impact, but that's no way of instructing someone how to do it.

you are not supposed to change your swing, this game is about habit, this method could start MANY bad habits. Its easier just to aim a few yards right or left of target (with legs and body) and aim the club face at the flagstick (or fairway) and swing with your bodyline. but, if this works for you, go ahead and do it...

@Gyro911 ironically enough, i just changed my swing (again) and now what produces the draw or fade is my ball position. closer to rear foot makes a low draw, front foot...high fade. as i said, quite a versatile sport lol

@remmy100 Great that it works for you. You may be doing other things on top of that to achieve it but, the face direction never worked for me. The ball either gets pushed or Fades but never draws

Respond to this video...  OR Ball Flight Laws From Golf Evolution

@fritolaytwists bro you could not be more wrong. the ball starts on where your clubface is at impact and the path determines the side spin. if you keep the face open at impact and swing along your feet line (left) like you suggested you will hit push fades. watch this video so you can see how big of an idiot you are: Michael Breed on Ball Flight Laws

@chittychad18 well opening or closing the face works for me. When I try doing the whole move one foot back thing, it gets ugly. Great thing about golf....its so versatile

[fritolaytwists]

FADE: 1. Keep the club face where you want the ball to END UP.

2. Aim your feet where you want the ball TO START (this will produce the left to right action). If you hit a fade to the center of a green, aim at the left side while keeping your club aimed at the center of the green.

DRAW: Switch the aim of the feet. Personally, hitting the fade is easier and I recommend starting with this shot first. Plus you get more control - no sense hitting it long if you have no idea where it's going.

i will just follow the instruction of GOLDEN BEAR, much more easy, and no need to change my swing. Golf is already difficult enough, why made it more complicated??
