Dustin Johnson & Collin Morikawa Talking Fades | TaylorMade Golf



Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa hitting drivers, talking about all things technique, feels and thought processes that go into hitting their signature shot—the fade. What more could a golf fan want? Sit back and learn why the two swing the club the way they do. From their signature bowed wrist at the top of the backswing, to their aim points and details of the swing, these two major champion golfers cover it all.

  1. Very few professional athletes have the natural on camera ability Collin does. So engaging and easy to listen to. Quickly becoming one of my favourite players on tour for being both an exciting player and a well spoken individual.

  2. Hand's down best TM video!!!
    Total winner TM!! Hope you have more with Dustin and Collin!
    Now if I could actually hit a Taylormade driver that stays as my fade…..and not my slice!
    Thank you again!

  3. Not sure what the course or when but that 400 yard hole where Dustin just about drained his drive remains one of the best, if not the best, golf shot I have ever seen. You do not ever get to be World Number 1 without understanding your tendencies off the tee.

  4. Love this. Always wanted to see dj and collin talk since they both have bowed wrists and play the fade

  5. Dustin Johnson joins the blood money tour.
    Might be time to drop him TaylorMade….

  6. Omg, this is so infightfull. Thank you so much. When dj said you dont just swing it, but you try to hit it, it becomes hard. I am a natural fader and I play first nine two to four over par, and back nine always five to seven. I always wonderd why, but colin explained it in a perfect way. When you try to hit fade to hard (despite being your nattural swing), you star sliceing it. This almost always happens to me and it ruins my round, as i fall out of my normal tempo/rythm.

  7. Cool chat between two top tier players. I thought it was interesting that they actually prefer one side of the tee box. The first general rule I heard was tee up on the side of the trouble. As far as fades go, Pros prefer to cut the ball to hold greens on the approach and to take out the left side of the fairway off the tee. As Trevino said, a fade will listen.. hooks don't.🏌‍♂

  8. Very interesting how Colin talks about the bowed wrist and face control. As an amateur I have done this for my drives and I found it to be more consistent but I also find it adds pressure to the wrist.

  9. I love how after all this talk about what they focus on and trying to give instructions on how they hit fades with the driver, they're both just like "I don't really try to do this, I swing normal and it just happens".

  10. Wish I could play a fade but I just don't have the swing speed to make up for a loss in yardage

  11. I think the bowed wrist comes from keeping the face square to the target line despite having a weak grip. See so many guys try to emulate the bow with their strong grip but theyre so focused on the un natural wrist action they dont notice the ball flying off the hosel until its too late

  12. power fade off the driver is the best easiest shot to learn to play. You won't ugly slice as long as you rotate. your misses will be pulls. Natural swing. F a draw.

  13. It’s a shame we won’t see these guys play together in these vids or in the Ryder cup. They are so different but seem to mesh well

  14. what DJ is trying to say is its instinct he just plays the shot the way it feels very simple collin get back to me you have my email
