Fade; tour players

oh ok. how do they hit the push fade? and why would they want a push fade since it would start right and then go more right when it fades, seems like it would be like atleast 50 degrees off target when it hits ground

Occasionally I hit a controlled push fade that either stops on a dime or with a smidgen of release (1-5 yards right). Good for distance control and when left is dead. I try it often - occasionally it works.

yea I just was wondering about some slight faders on tour because I like to close the face like 1-2 degrees at address and then hit. In video it looks like Im coming over the top a little because at P6 my shaft isnt parallel with the target. The ball flight goes on a line thats inbetween my feet and the ball and then fades a tiny bit or in alot of cases no fade. Looking at my divots they are usually straight, not over the top marks. So I dont know really, just trying to work on impact position. I also tried coming more inside by having my shaft parallel with the ground at P6 and I end up just pushing shots way right and the divots are of pushes.

Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklause both hit a push fade and controlled it by aiming left. New ball flight rules say that an out to in swing path with an open club face relative to the path creates a push fade, as I understand it. The open club face would give a higher ball flight and thus less roll so more control in the air.

For a push fade, you would need a square path or slightly inside-out with a slightly open face relative to that path. The open face starts the ball right, and the face being open more than the path applies left to right spin. If you had an outside-in path with an open face relative to that path you're going to get either a pull fade, straight fade or push slice depending on how big the difference is between face and path.

Yep. If you have a square path, then the club face will cause either a straight shot, a pull-draw, or a push-fade, since a square path will be out-to-in ralative to an open face, or in-to-out relative to a closed face. Holding off the club a little will promote a good wedge, and an open face. Do it consistently, and aim to the left, and you have a playable push-fade.
