Definition

A controlled ball flight pattern that curves slightly from left to right for right-handed golfers (right to left for left-handed golfers), typically produced by a slightly open club face at impact relative to swing path. Fade shots offer accuracy advantages and predictable ball flight while providing soft landing characteristics on approach shots. Understanding fade technique helps golfers develop reliable shot patterns and manage course challenges effectively. Professional golfers often prefer controlled fade patterns for their consistency and strategic advantages. Developing a reliable fade can significantly improve accuracy and course management.
