Jim Venetos demonstrates how to hit a controlled fade by manipulating alignment and clubface angle. This technique allows golfers with limited clubhead speed to use skill to shape the ball around obstacles and back toward the target.
Align your setup so the club path exits to the left of your target (for right-handed golfers).
Hold the clubface slightly open relative to your swing path to create the fade curvature.
Shot shaping is a skill-based alternative to relying purely on high clubhead speed.
Visualizing the ball bending back toward the target is key for successful execution.
