“You have to block the ball to hit a fade”. “Just hold off your release to hit a fade.” “Swing left (RH) of the target to hit a fade.” Have you ever heard any of these tips? Have you ever repeated any of them? What if I told you that all of them were wrong because they were movement-based and, therefore, incidental? Don’t worry. Because, ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to give you the one common swing link in every fade.

You have never heard this before, most likely. I’ve been absorbing swing knowledge since I was in college, and I’ve never heard this from anyone. But, just to be fair… if you have, share who it was. I want to talk to them. The link I share now, for free, will eventually show up on The Golf Channel or in a Golf Publication, as does all my intellectual property… so watch for it. Anyway, here it is.

“The leading arm stays against the body deeper into the downswing.” Copyright Mar. 17, 2018, John J. Wright Ent. There will always be instructors who repeat or craft a message that makes them seem clever. I’ve seen that. I say, spin it any way you want. Wrap it in a beautiful word-picture to distract your students if you must…. The underlying truth does not change.

There are several reasons for several reasons that this works without exception. But, I’m not going to give those to you. I’m tired of feeding the content generator for TV personalities. However, if you write in with the correct question, I’ll answer it for you. Otherwise, you’ll just have to have faith. I want to see TV heads wrap themselves around the axle trying to answer this one.
