So many amateurs would really love to shape the shots like the professionals and it's actually not that difficult. Subtle changes in your set up and understanding the dynamics of this we really can learn to shape the shots. First of all let's understand a little bit about straight shots if you're going to hit the ball perfectly straight that's really where we're matching up the swing path with where the face is aiming. So if the club head traveling looking at the target and the face just using this magnet here on the club is looking at the target so the face and the path and looking in the same direction that ball's going to fly with fairly true back spin, but the fun starts if you want to shape it. So I just set these 3 little canes up here and it's very very simple really the far cane is representing the target where I'd like the ball to and where it likely to finish. This inside cane is actually my swing path so if I swing just slightly left of my target here, and of course now a days with launch monitors except through we're able to measure the exact degrees, but let's hypothetically say I'm swinging here 4 degrees left of the target. If I then use the middle cane that's my face.
So my face you can see is slightly right of open to the target so that means a differential between the face and the path apart is going four degrees left and let's say my face is only 2 degrees left so there's a 2 degree difference. That 2 degree difference is just going to put a little bit of curvature on the ball. So I've got that scenario of path face target if I swing down this path with the face looking slightly to the right the ball is going to curve nicely onto the target with a little bit of fade and the reverse would apply if I want to draw the golf ball should be very simple to swat these around. So now I've got my path going out to the right the face just a little bit left of that and the borders and then a curve onto the target so it's path face target. If you get that equation right it's never going to change so let's give it a little go. I'm just going to try and fade a ball using that feeling so I'm going to aim marginally left have my face slightly left and just feel like I wipe a little across the golf ball if I do that I have just produced a nice little fade there. So give it a go practice it but that equation will never change pass a target master there as a new master shaping your shots.
