Hit a fade: ball forward, open body, path across

The instructor explains his setup for turning it into a fade/cut: he moves his ball position a little more forward in his stance, opens his lower body and his shoulders, and works his swing path more across the ball so it starts left and cuts back. This is his stated recipe for a fade.

Try it

  1. Move ball position a little more forward in your stance
  2. Open your lower body and also your shoulders
  3. Get your path working more across the ball so it starts left and cuts back

Why this context matters

From a challenge round where he only hits fades despite naturally hitting a draw.
