Late in 2015, Johnson traded his lifelong draw for a fade. The switch allowed him to keep his monster length off the tee while improving his accuracy—and helped him win a major. Whether you hit hooks, slices or pushes, here’s how to launch fairway finding power fades, the DJ way.
SWING SPEED STARTS AT SETUP, and that’s not lip service. “Your address position sets the stage for everything you do in your swing,” Johnson says. “I’ve spent countless hours perfecting this part of my game.” Dustin is 6’ 4”, so naturally he addresses the ball using a “tall” posture (above, left), but any golfer would do well to look and feel more athletic at setup. “You want a slight curve in the small of your back and to have your chin up a bit,” he advises. Try DJ’s posture-check: Have a friend take a photo of your setup, then trace an imaginary line on your phone’s screen up your driver‘s shaft, through the grip and into your body. The line should hit your belt buckle.
