Decreasing FATS

[curtisj76]

If someone wanted to decrease FATS, would pulling with the left hand help? If you've followed any of my posts from last year or this year I struggle(d) with big push fades with my driver. Many mentioned that I had too much FATS. Something clicked last night. I really have NO sensation of pulling with my left. With being very "right side dominated" I'm GUESSING this increases FATS. I've made a few practice swings with starting the downswing with a pulling sensation with the left and then pouring it on with the right (a la Soft draw) and it feels very smooth. Am I on the right track with the whole FATS and no pulling with the left? Thanks


FYI: FATS = Force across the shaft

"There is a proper way to move the club from the top.

Your PIVOT should pull on the club lengthwise from the top, with just enough pulling assistance from your arms to keep the proper positioning of the arms to the body.

This pulling only acceleration must slow for every club around the last time the club is vertical to the ground prior to impact.

For the Driver, there should be a small deceleration from this point on in the pivot pulling force.

Some force across the shaft is necessary for release in full power shots at—or near—this last vertical location.

Of course, you may feel all sorts of different things."
