Golf: Whats the difference between the terms, “Draw” “Fade” “Hook” and “Slice”
I know thеу аll mean something аbουt thе ball nοt going реrfесtlу straight bυt hοw аrе аll thе terms different.
Alѕο mу shots tend tο ѕtаrt out straight bυt аbουt halfway through thе running away οf thе ball, іt ѕtаrtѕ tο curve way tο thе rіght. Whісh term dеѕсrіbеѕ thіѕ type οf shot.
Assuming you are a right hander, you are striking a slice. For a right handed golfer, a slice is a ball moving to the right, a hook moves to the left. A draw is really nothing more then a controlled hook, used to either get a bit more roll or to go the ball around an obstacle. A fade is a controlled slice, used also to get the ball around an obstacle, and also used to help the ball “stick” on the green.
The largest difference is that normally hook and slice are used to indicate a problem with your swing, whereas a draw and fade are done deliberately.
okay..i reflect your a beginner right me if im incorrect. Your shot is a slice, which is when the ball makes a dramatic turn right (for the riight handed golfer). A hook is when your ball makes a dramatic turn left. A draw is a controlled hook, and a Fade is a controlled slice. Pros use Draw and Fade more because they can hit the ball so perfectly everytime and control it. Rarely do you see a Pro slice it or hook it out of control. Now for you, don’t really worry bout these technical terms. If you want to get rid of your slice or make it less, just turn the top hand thumb inward. TRY this it works for me and many others!!!1
what you are doing is a slice.
A draw (if you’re a right hander), is a controlled curve to the left, a fade is to the right, a hook is an uncontrolled shot that quickly curves left, a slice is one that quickly curves to the right. Your shot is referred to as a slice. Either your club face is open at impact or you’re swinging from outside-in. Also, don’t try to kill the ball, nice simple swing,even tempo. Excellent Luck, hope this helps.
