SD and swinging left (is it possible?)

Well after purchasing NHA2.0 I figured out I was swinging way too far right. I sorta figured I was just going to use the NHA pattern this summer but then I figured I could try SD again but not swing so much to the right. So I'm trying to figure out how to practice. Can I use SD but use some of the "swing left" drills from NHA? Or will that TOTALLY mess things up. So I'll rephrase the question: How can I practice SD without swinging too far right (or left if that's another problem)? Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

The Soft Fade Pattern

Is the "Soft Fade" Pattern a SOft Draw pattern backswing with a NHA downswing?


Nope.


What is it?

Anyone with 800 posts or more can PM me until the video comes out.

i was playing at Chino today and I was hitting alot of draws, but it all went too long and miss the greens. Sometimes it would land on the green and keep rolling. So i tried something that I saw in the SD video. Brian mentioned not to swing like a fader at the end of the video, but have the butt of the club point to the target when the club comes up instead of wrapping you around. SO anyways, i just tried what brian told us not to do with SD pattern. I hit a lil soft fade with each shot. The ball flight is higher than normal, i don't really think I lost any distance and the best part is the ball stops whenever it lands. This is pretty amazing.


As for SD, I think if I aim left, it would just pull to the left. Because SD gives me very solid squarish impact.

But again...I don't know what I'm talking about. It just works for me.

Now I just need to learn fairway bunkers. :)
