Where to hit ball to draw

[phillygolf]

Hi Yoda,first up ,thanks for input re index finger on hitters thread.
My query now is,I recently read somewhere on this forum that the ball is hit on the outside quadrant to impart draw or hookspin!
Did I read that correctly,if so could you please redirect to that article.Thanks in advance Terry

In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed in trade I was bound
And many an hour of sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town
Then bad misfortune came o'er me
That caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band

Brownman,

Dont do it. No matter what (meth induced) Mike O, 12 piece says.

My take.

Outside/inside.

Let me ask this - wouldnt the main factor be clubface motion through impact?

I'll bet my life, ok, yours - that, I can hit outside quadrant and slice the hell out of it.

This thread is going nowhere,I read an article that was written by YODA,it may have just been a thread or the like,Whereby he stated that to impart draw or hookspin,this is done by hitting the outside quadrant of the ball.
Someone asked if it was a typo,his reply was NO,then proceeded to explain WHY!

I do have some golfing knowledge,that is why I second looked the thread as I could,nt beleive it either,he went on to explain P/angle..Approach angle etc ,It did actually make sense.

All I was after ,was THE ARTICLE....Nothing else
Thanks

I don't know where that thread is! - I'd imagine you look up Yoda's profile and then go through all 2.1 billion posts to find it or use the thread search and type in some different terms that might pull it up!

Once Brownman calms down - I'll be back to bust some Bucket Balls!

This thread is going

Bucket- I expect you'll own up to creating this problem!

That was too easy for you Mike.

If it helps I do remember reading Yoda's reference to hitting the outside rear quadrant of the ball to draw it, but I do not recall the thread. It was my impression that the stroke was still down, forward, and out, and that the face was closed enough relative to the stroke that the closing toe contacted a point on the outside rear quadrant a millisecond before the rest of the face compressed the ball, creating counter-clockwise or hooking spin.

But I have been wrong before here.........

Here's what Yoda wrote. Picked up this quote from another thread. It's from a longer post I read in the Archives yesterday.


"Hitters and Manipulated Hands Swingers play the Ball back (of Straightaway Flight Location) for Draws and forward for Fades. With the Left Wrist positioned Flat, Level and Vertical, the Club is rotated within the Grip -- Closed for Draws and Opened for Fades -- to agree with the new Ball Location. A Ball placed back in the Stance will Draw because the Clubface makes contact with the Outside Aft quadrant of the Ball. A Ball placed forward in the Stance will Fade because the Clubface makes contact with the Inside Aft Quadrant. "

You're right but sometimes when they "tee'm up" you can't pass on them. I'll try to be more creative!

I'm sure it's sunny and 80 degrees in Ohio- or did you lose the job of "Head of tourism" for the State?
