The EASY Way To Shape Your Golf Shots (Draw And Fade The Ball On COMMAND!)
Shot Shaping Lesson
In this video, Milo and Henry discuss the basics of shot shaping. They cover how to control start line and ball curve using club face and path, as well as how to use body alignment to achieve the desired shot shape.
Basics of Shot Shaping
- To shape shots, focus on club face and path.
- Club face determines start line while path controls ball curve.
- To make the ball curve right, make your path left; to make it curve left, make your path right.
- Use body alignment to set up for the desired shot shape rather than relying solely on hands and arms.
Using Alignment Sticks
- Use alignment sticks to help with shot shaping.
- Designate one stick for face alignment and another for curve alignment.
- Aim the face at the intended start line and align your body accordingly.
- The difference in angle between the two sticks determines the amount of curve.
Demonstrating Shot Shapes
- Henry demonstrates a tight draw by aiming his body right and having his face between his target and flagstick.
- A cut can be achieved by starting on the same line but aligning your path more towards the other stick designated for curve alignment.
- Exaggerating your setup can help you achieve a more pronounced shot shape.
Golf Shot Curvature
In this section, the speaker explains how golfers produce small curves in their shots by keeping their path and face only a few degrees apart.
How Shots are Curved
- Golfers keep their path and face only a few degrees apart to produce small curves.
- The speaker shows an example of a driver shot that produces a curve.
Shaping Shots
In this section, the speaker discusses shaping shots and demonstrates how to hit a low hook.
Hitting a Low Hook
- The speaker lines up his body more to the right to hit a low hook.
- He swings along that line, causing the ball to sling and bend.
Shot Variations
In this section, the speaker talks about different types of shots and demonstrates hitting them.
Draw Shot
- The speaker hits a nice draw shot that curves left.
Stock Shot
- The stock shot has tighter aim with less difference between path and face.
- This produces less curvature in the ball's flight.
Final Thoughts
In this section, the speaker gives some final thoughts on shaping shots.
Stick to Face and Path
- The speaker advises golfers to stick to setting up their face and path for most shots rather than trying specialty shots like holding off or slinging arms over.
