Nick Price, in this month's Golf Digest:

"Tour players dont fade the ball the way amateurs do. They actually make a draw type swing, with the clubhead approaching from inside the line of play instead of swiping across it. All they do is aim left and make sure the face is slightly open at impact."

D-Plane anyone?

That's called a knuckle fade.

I want to shoot the person who created the term "knuckle" fade. A fade is a fade is a fade....in REALITY a ball that fades or a ball that draws that has the SAME AMOUNT OF SPIN ON IT will be just as accurate to each other.

I've always thought of it this way, after all why change your whole swing to get a different effect...Doesn't make sense.......reduce the variables.....

This has been a main topic of the D plane's effect on fading the ball. Not really swinging left as much as aiming more left and allowing the face to start it right and then curve. Hey, maybe i laid an egg here. I thought it tied in rather nicely with whats been going on here lately. Also, cant really say ive heard it spelled out like this in a magazine before. If it has, its been kind of dismissed as a "block fade".

Like this.....

Ripped Cut

This ball flew over the middle of the left bunker and faded about 5 yards. I had to watch that ALL day!

Name that Tour Player

Scott McCarron. I got to shake his hand after his course record here at the GVO (Northview GC) about 12 years ago. Great move.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

We played together last week. I expect good things from him this year. He feels good and he was hitting it solid and rolling the rock.
