Two tricks to turn your slice into a power fade
When I played on the Asian Tour at the start of my career, the low draws I hit stayed under the wind and stopped on receptive greens just fine. But to compete on the PGA Tour and contend for majors, I needed to hit the ball higher and have it land softer—even with the longer clubs. So starting four years ago, I worked with my coach, Mike Walker, to make a high fade my stock shot. The first year was rough. I went from aiming 10 yards right to five yards left, and it took time for my eyes to adjust.

Kiradech Aphibarnrat: The Shot They Don't Teach
It usually doesn’t take more than a hole or two during a pro-am for one of my amateur partners to ask me about the way I chip. You don’t see it very much on tour. I play the ball back in my stance, hinge my wrists up quickly, and hit down on it with an open clubface. This creates a low trajectory and a lot of spin, so the ball quickly checks up. It’s a shot I learned growing up in Thailand to deal with the grainy grass around the greens there.
