Shaping golf shots

Hi Tom and others,

I am swinging pretty good, hitting ball crisp a lot and looking now to take it up a notch and shape shots at times. I noticed that there is not really a vid on this... There was one or 2 that briefly touch on it, but beyond keeping shots low or higher, I am not really talking about ball flighting here.

More like, pin tucked in right hand corner and you want to fade or feather it into that spot. Or conversely you want to heavy draw it and have it run out as the pin is tucked back left and there is a bunker protecting a direct shot to it. Then of course, there was JT's hook draw shot at the Players Championship last week, which was a thing of beauty.

I used to either pick my hands up higher to fade it or bring them down lower to draw it, but then it was tough to be accurate with this approach. I stumbled across some Philly Mick where he said he would open the face a degree or 2 for a fade and use the same swing, it would take 3-5 yrds off the distance. The opposite was true for a draw. This info would come in handy for a between club shot, where you take the longer club, open the face a bit and just fade it to your target distance (oh, that sounds just so easy doesn't it?🤔)

So I would like to request some video addressing this more fine tuning part of the game. I am thinking the best way to shape is to take the same swing and weaken or strengthen a grip- adjusting your stance a little to allow for the shape. It would be very informative to know the distance added or subtracted to a shot like this.

Also, in regards to JT's low hook shot, if trying to mimic that on a severe dogleg, would that be only grip, or wouldn't the hands have to be taken down lower and the follow through a bit more out? He also had some mondo cut slices and I was wondering the same thing as some of his follow throughs looked "wonky"

Tom, you don't need to necessarily answer here, but I would really love some video on this action and especially to know if a slight cut is taking off 2 or 5 yards.

Also, bumping and running around the greens, my dad is a wizard at taking an p,8, or 6 iron and running the ball to the green with almost a putting stroke. always says 8 iron was 50/50 (would fly as much in the air as run out), P was 2/3- 1/3. Don't know if this is a real golf thing or just an "old man river" thing .

I know that is a lot of info, but c'mon, this is really all about me isn't it?

Thanks for the consideration.
