Use Golf Ball Logo to Set Up Fade or Draw - Golf Swing Tip (Video) - by Pete Styles

Here is a tip that I think can improve a lot of people’s accuracy of the tee. So when you set your ball upon the teeing ground, it’s one of the only times you are actually allowed to move the ball, to help you. Now most balls will have the maker’s name or logo somewhere on it and for most names that would be actually a straight line, printed straight across the board. So you could actually utilize that to point in the direction where you want to hit the ball. So I would type the maker’s name here, the red line and I would point it from behind my target line and point it exactly where I want the ball to go. I could even pick a small spot in front of me, where I would like to line the name up, if that’s in line with my overall target. I then step back behind the ball, with that red line now, pointing my way to success down the fairway. I will line my club exactly perpendicular to that line. And then drill my driver swing right down through the maker’s name and often to the distance.

And that would for the straight shot. Now if I was trying to hit a draw or a fade with my golf shot, I might actually point the maker’s name not to the target, but slightly off to the side. So for the draw shot I could point the maker’s name, the right hand semi-rough. Then if I made my swing out to the right hand side, with the club face slightly more closed than my path, I would see that ball drawing back in from right to left, as long as I was swinging down the maker’s name with the face slightly more closed than that. And likewise, if I was trying to hit a fade, the opposite, I would play my ball with the maker’s name down the left hand side of the fairway into the left hand semi-rough, swing along the maker’s name with the club face pointing slightly more open or slightly more to the right down the swing path and that would put spin on the other way. So if you are struggling with your alignment of the tee, you can utilize the fact, you can have the ball in your hand, you have got the maker’s name and line that up. You could also use the logo when you are putting again on the green, you will have to mark your ball, line it up and then hit that straight in line with the hole. Remember, you can’t do this if you are on the fairway unless you are playing the wins or rules, where you are playing the winter rules where you are allowed to clean your ball, the rest of the time you just have to leave the ball exactly where it is. But take advantage of your opportunity to do this, when you can, when you are teeing off. Use the maker’s name to point in the direction you want the ball to go. 2013-09-16
