3:20 sliced the dog nuts out of it… “it produces a gentle fade 😂

If you saw the flight I don’t think you would call it a slice maybe a push fade.

My friend and instructor, Geoff Jones, calls it the “knuckle fade,” a low spin fade hit from the inside. He’s been teaching it for 30 years. I remember when he first showed it to me 12-13 years ago. After getting my grip & set-up right, and hitting balls for a couple of days, he told me to hit driver and “feel like you’re swinging toward those trees behind your left shoulder.” Instant baby fade.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

So long as it's not steep and swipe-y =)

[@hoganfan924]

@@MiloLinesGolf Of course. Geoff doesn't teach steep, or swipey, hence the "fade hit from the inside" comment. He has a lot of old student swings on youtube under username "Slicefixer" kzbin.info

Thanks Lee!

[@zhouliyuan12]

Thank you so much for this great video! It answered my biggest question/myth/misunderstanding that the driver shot should be a draw naturally. I hit all the clubs draw naturally except for the driver. I struggled so much with the driver and changed my swing technique multiple times but it eventually broke my swing confidence/technique/speed. Now I have accepted that the driver shot should be a power fade!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Nothing wrong with a power fade!

[@bl6369]

These are great nuggets of info. Thank you. Makes so much sense, interestingly I always tried to hit a draw but I also hit up on the ball ever so slightly and play a power fade. I just went with it. With a square face like you say.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Good stuff!

[@dennis1119]

So great to see you in November and learn the benefits of the power fade. I love being able to rotate my body with less forearm/face roll and a more stable clubface. Can't wait till golf season back East! Can't wait till you launch the new website!

[@VimMitt]

How about stance and club face open or closed?

[@robertlozano6546]

Milo. Do you set up left at all and/ or aim face left ?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I typically have my stance slightly open and I have the face aligned left of my target as that is where I want the ball to start, however because my swing path is typically left of the face alignment I create a fade which curves the ball back to the intended target.

[@gmioni1979]

Nice, Superstition Mountain is course I driving by may times and wanted to play. Maybe one day

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Hopefully!

[@chrisstevens2593]

Thanks for answering my previous question about stance. This question is about driver loft setting..if we want to hit the box fade which will be a higher ball flight, do we need to reduce the loft setting to reduce the spin and if so how much ? Thanks

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Depends on your swing and the dynamics you create. Loft could be fine, but path, face angle, dynamic loft, etc, could create unwanted spin on ball and unwanted ball flight. Will speak more to this in video soon!

[@tengrison]

thank you so much Milo! I'm playing more than 10 years. step by step I'm trying to hit the ball the way you do. I'm 42, lefty, 3 hcp. I still have some questions..

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching! If you ever need further help, you can find me and my online academy at milolinesgolf.com.

[@williamhermann6635]

I naturally developed a power fade similar to Rahm's. Im built similarly to him (Im like 6'1" 270) and not all that flexible but I am powerful. I aim left, close the clubface a little, shorten my backswing (only bring my lead arm back to 90 degrees), strengthened my grip, focus on keeping my lead arm perfectly straight in the downswing, and swing hard. Now Im absolutely crushing the ball with more control than Ive ever had in my life.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Awesome to hear William. Outside of the strong left hand, which is what I usually encourage, sounds like you got yourself a Rahmbo swing! If I can ever be of personal help, do check out my online academy: milolinesgolf.com/online-academy/

[@JohnK222inf]

Can you do a video on the pull fade with irons. It’s a lot harder when hitting down 4-6 aoa. The driver fade is easier once you get the face open to path, most of us close it too much when trying this with driver

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I can I generally don’t teach a pull fade however

[@JohnK222inf]

@@MiloLinesGolf Do you prefer more of a push fade vs just a couple degrees out to in with face to path open pull fade? Might be interesting video to provide distinction between the two and pros/cons. Enjoy all the content, thanks for replying.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

@@JohnK222inf I like shifting my base line and swinging very neutral along the slightly open baseline.

[@Disturbed7100]

Played today and tried to play a fade, and i found that I had control because when I try a draw it can either be a big push or a hook. I think i'll be making the power fade my main driver shot. I use the TM SIM which is fairly low spin so this should actually help too.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Great stuff!

[@nelsonjames1272]

Great video as per usual Milo. Question..do you make a normal release when hitting up without any cut action on the swing? Thanks

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Yes

[@chrisstevens2593]

Great video thanks. Besides moving the ball position forward, is there any change in stance alignment ? Example, would you aim slightly left since the ball will not move very far to the right or do you have stance alignment aimed down the middle and let ball start left and come back to the middle of the fairway ?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Yes I aim the face down the left side of the fairway and my body just a bit more left and bombs away

[@omeradhia]

When you say power fade, is that being hit from the inside with the face held ( push fade) or more of a pull fade ( typical fade pattern) ? Which one is more efficient , from a distance point of view?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Pull and push fades can be pretty equal the key is they aren’t hit down and across fades that are very spiny. The power fade is a low spin fade

[@liquidmocofilmsllc4915]

Hello kind sir... can you please explain to me exactly what it is to hit up on the ball. This is something that I haven't found very many videos on. It has to do with ball position and the bottom of the swing. Is the botton the swing arc always the same for every club (center of sternum) which ball position affects ball flight/shpae? Because I can adjust my swing to hit down on a ball even with a forward ball position. Also, I can hit up on my ball with driver from the inside to produce a high draw, again because I adjust my hand position thru impact. Can you please do a video on this? Simply put, does the swing arc bottom out the same with every club so that the ball position affects the shape? For example, if I hit with the same bottom with my driver as with my irons, then I will hit the ball left of target because the club head has passed the square position slightly. I hope I'm making some type of sense.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I'll set this one aside for a video very soon, great idea!

[@annon9368]

Very well done! Thank you.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@peteruwatch2970]

I understand the “secret” for a fade and hitting with upswing on the driver tee shot…so what do I do for iron shots?

Hi, I would like help with my fade. Where are you located?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@BeastMR2]

“For every degree you’re swinging up, if you’re swinging on a 45 degree angle, you’re also swinging slightly to the left.” It’s so obvious but something I never thought about. No wonder high draws are so tough.

Good stuff Anderson!

The mountain must make a nice little batter's eye backdrop in person.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

[@swisstrader]

Hmmm…learned something new here. I always thought a draw would produce more distance. The other bid advantage to the fade is it completely takes the left side out of the equation. My home course has about 4 holes where left means OB, so a fade would help.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

You bet!

[@dylanheskett9040]

So if you’re hitting a power fade with the driver because of hitting up on it, how are you hitting the fade correctly with an iron you hit down on?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Set up. I aim my body more left than the face

[@dylanheskett9040]

@@MiloLinesGolf I gotcha, and aiming more left is very slight I would assume as for most shots you want little curve but a predictable curve. When it comes to short clubs, 9iron- lob wedge type of shots I have a hard time hitting a fade without skying the ball and when I draw I tend to over do it, any simple advice as to how to play those shorter clubs? Thanks your content is great!! I watch it daily for my practice
