Shut Face Fader?

you're entitled to your opinion.

this phrase has become code for "I was wrong but I won't admit it outright".

with the fade all you do is hold on through impact and turn your body. much easier to do under pressure than tossing javelins and such.

Much easier to block it way right under pressure with the long clubs, but then that might be preferable to a hook or pull.

exactly. this is why so many great players have relied on fades under the gun.

a player using a "tossing" draw fears the hook under pressure, so he hedges and just doesnt release the club at all--big block

the smart player realizes that this might happen, so he chooses to hit the hold on fade instead.

the truly great player(Tiger) isn't affected by the pressure of the shot, so he hits the draw anyway(with irons anyway. he hasnt mastered the driver yet)

Why are suggesting you "hold on" to hit a fade? Why would you do this? What are you holding on to?

Fade is a bad word.

A high tight draw is a thing of beauty.

why do all the manzella instructors want to argue semantics so much? you know exactly what i am talking about...you know by "pop golf" definitions.

Why do you come here period? All you want to do is argue. You don't want to learn and you destract some that do want to learn. Does coming here break up the monotony of playing with Mr. Winkee in your dormroom??

Wrong again, future. I still disagree that a fade is necessarily easier to do under pressure. It depends on the player. But, despite my position and reasoning (namely, that everyone is different and for some a draw is easier for them to hit under pressure, and some not) you disagree with me. And there's nothing I can do to change your mind.

Hey, at least I'm not asking you to have a great day with your new-found knowledge...

read the whole thread. the question was about why people find it easier to hit fades under pressure. for most, its easier to hold on rather than toss under pressure.

real golfers hit shots that they trust under pressure.

people like you like to talk about why.

Semantics?? We dont use "pop" golf terms. You're either doing it right or you're not. You are not helping matters by continuing to say these things are semantics because they aren't. People are trying to learn and you don't hold on for a fade.

Holding on is how you hit it 250, and to the right ------->
