Practice Hitting A Golf Push Shot To Learn A Power Fade (Video) - Lesson B by PGA Pro Pete Styles

So if you are now interested in learning that Jack Nicklaus power fade, you'll often see the ball moving from left to right in the air as it goes out there. I mean it’s a very powerful shot. So similar shot that I'd like you to start off by learning, basically to eradicate any of the bad habits you've got in your game. So actually it's going to be a big powerful push. So setting up to an intended target, but then actually learning to hit the ball to the right hand side of that target, because that’s going to be hit with a face that’s slightly open to the intended target and a swing path that’s to the inside. So that’s how you're going to hit your push. So we line up nice and straight, we bring the club from the inside, which is a slightly flatter than normal down swing, hitting from the inside.

Very quick to open up the hips with this shot as well and then leave the club face open to target. Understanding that if you close the club face to your swing path at this point, you're probably going to see a draw, which isn’t the shot we're working on in this instance. We don’t want to see the ball moving from right to left, we want to see the ball moving out to the right hand side, and kind of staying in that right hand side. So you've lined everything up to target, but we're going to come down from the inside and hit out to the right. Effectively I've picked a new target, which would be about where the right hand side of my normal fairway would be. I'm going to try and drop to the inside and hit out to that side. So pushing the ball down the right hand side of my intended target. I'm not trying to let my hand release all that much. I don’t want the club face closing in relation to path. I want in an instance of trying to hit a block or a push as that is. Always try and keep the club face square to the path. I just now want to bring the path down from the inside. So I just hit it down that right hand side at first. Now when you're on the range, learn to hit about ten, 15, 20 of those block shot, so its push out first. Then in this next video we'll see how I can develop that ball flight to be a nice strong power fade. 2016-07-27
