Welcome to Day 3 of the “9 Days to Amazing Ball Striking” lesson series. Today you’re going to learn one of the most valuable shots in golf — the controlled fade.
In yesterday’s lesson, you learned exactly how to hit a draw by rolling the club face closed through impact. Today we reverse the process and master the opposite shot — a reliable fade that curves gently from left to right.
If you’ve ever struggled with an uncontrollable slice, you may think you already know how to fade the ball. The difference is that a properly executed fade is a controlled, intentional shot shape — not a mishit. This lesson gives you the drills to make it repeatable.

The principle behind hitting a fade is essentially the mirror image of the draw technique you practiced on Day 2. Once you understand both shots, you’ll have complete command over your ball flight.
Instead of rolling your left hand counter-clockwise to close the face and release the club, today you’re going to keep your hand slightly open through impact.
