What
is a slice / draw / hook / push / pull / fade?
|
Slice
A
slice is a curving shot with a lot of sidespin which sends the ball
left to right rather than straight. The clubface will be open several
degrees in relation to the path.
Draw
This
is a shot with minimal sidespin resulting in a slight right to left
travel at the end of the ball's flight. The clubface is closed a
few degress at impact with a straight club path. The slight sidespin
means that as the ball slows at the end of its flight, the sidespin
takes over and draws the ball from right to left. This is the opposite
of a fade.
Hook
The
opposite of a slice, with the clubface closed more than a few degrees
relative to the path.
Push
This
term is used for a ball whose flight path is straight, with very
little sidespin, and the ball ends up to the right of the target.
Pull
Opposite
of a push. The ball will end up to the left of the target.
Fade
Slight
sidespin, causing a straight shot to travel left to right at the
end of the ball's flight.
