For every golfer, feeling comfortable working the ball both ways is only good for their game. In lieu of that, however, having a go-to shot that is reliable in the clutch is a huge asset.
For Secret Golf ambassador Steve Elkington, that shot is a controlled fade that flies high and stops quickly. In this video, Elkington shows two-time PGA Tour winner Pat Perez how to hit the controlled fade and to make it a regular part of your repertoire -- despite an inclination to play for a draw.
