Open the face and re-grip to fade the punch

To add controlled fade to the punch, open the clubface slightly at address and then re-grip it, rather than just twisting your hands into position. With the face open, the ball starts slightly right of the target, and the swing path adds fade spin that curves it back left to right.

Try it

  1. Open that face at address, and then just slightly
  2. Then re-grip it - you're not just turning your hands, actually re-grip it
  3. Pull the shot off; it starts slightly right of the target because of the face, and the swing path creates fade spin that fades it left to right
