This week i started to fade the ball for some odd reason causing me to only go 3 under my handicap in the last competition i played when i know at the way i was playing last week i would of shot 10 under my handicap. Was wondering if i have fixed this or if anyone sees anything that could be a potential problem.

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 - 4 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 21 Handicap
My typical ball flight is: High
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Very recently i have been fading the ball however i watched a couple videos on youtube and seem to have fixed it.?

Only suggestion I have is weight transfer to left foot.
The weight should be 75-90% on your left foot when you finish.
It appears you post to your left heel, need more on entire foot.
Many finish to the outside of left foot with 80-90% weight distributed.

Swing looks good, good luck.

Are your fades more of a pull fade? Do you often pull your ball left of your target? You look a little steep or OTT. I have struggled with the same thing so just curious.

Sometimes mate, more with the driver though. It only really pull fades when i aim left 😛

You appear to be casting or coming over the top, your swing path is definitely out to in as you connect with the ball. That imparts the sidespin on the ball which causes it to fade or slice. Work on keeping your right elbow tucked in to your side on the downswing, this will eliminate the out to in swing path. Good luck.

Can we get a caddie view of the swing too?  I don't know if your range permits it... one of the courses I play regularly has solid wood walls between each mat, so it isn't possible to set up a CV shot there.  Some other courses it's very easy to do.

    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
    • I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
