Most really good golfers know how to hit a high fade.
In fact, it is a very useful shot because a fade often times stays in the air longer and lands softer than a draw.
In this article I am going to share with you 3 tips that you can use in order to learn exactly how to hit a high fade.
1.
The first thing that you must do to hit a high fade is have the ball toward the front of your stance.
Putting the ball in the front of your stance is a key to hitting the ball high.
If the ball is too far back in your stance, then you are going to have a tough time launching it in the air.
As a general rule of thumb to hit a high fade you would put the ball about an inch further up in your stance than normal.
2.
After you have the ball up in your stance, it is time to aim your body to the left (for a right handed player) and aim your club face at the target.
Ideally you want to the ball to start on your body line, and end up at the target.
For instance, if I wanted to hit a high fade with a 5 iron, I would aim about 20 feet left of my target, because that is where I want the ball to start.
If i have the proper ball position, and swing the club in the proper manner, then the ball will likely finish up at my target.
3.
Another key to hitting a high fade is holding a high finish position.
The reason this is so important is because it serves as a confirmation that you have done everything else right.
If you focus on finishing high then you have to do everything else right in order to get to that position.
