Golf: Whats the difference between the terms, "Draw" "Fade" "Hook" and "Slice"

Question

I know they all mean something about the ball not going perfectly straight but how are all the terms different.

Also my shots tend to start out straight but about halfway through the flight of the ball, it starts to curve way to the right. Which term describes this type of shot.

Answer 1

Assuming you are a right hander, you are hitting a slice. For a right handed golfer, a slice is a ball moving to the right, a hook moves to the left. A draw is really nothing more then a controlled hook, used to either get a bit more roll or to move the ball around an obstacle. A fade is a controlled slice, used also to get the ball around an obstacle, and also used to help the ball "stick" on the green.
The biggest difference is that normally hook and slice are used to indicate a problem with your swing, whereas a draw and fade are done deliberately.

Answer 3

okay..i think your a beginner correct me if im wrong. Your shot is a slice, which is when the ball makes a dramatic turn right (for the riight handed golfer). A hook is when your ball makes a dramatic turn left. A draw is a controlled hook, and a Fade is a controlled slice. Pros use Draw and Fade more because they can hit the ball so perfectly everytime and control it. Rarely do you see a Pro slice it or hook it out of control. Now for you, don't really worry bout these technical terms. If you want to get rid of your slice or make it less, just turn the top hand thumb inward. TRY this it works for me and many others!!!1

Answer 4

A draw (if you're a right hander), is a controlled curve to the left, a fade is to the right, a hook is an uncontrolled shot that quickly curves left, a slice is one that quickly curves to the right. Your shot is referred to as a slice. Either your club face is open at impact or you're swinging from outside-in. Also, don't try to kill the ball, nice easy swing,even tempo. Good Luck, hope this helps.
