    jargons

    hi everyone,

    i have started playing golf few weeks ago. i heard follwing words while playing but find difficult to understand them. please someone explain the meanings of topping, thinning, slicing, hooking, fade, lob and so on not sure the spelling. i may be doing most of them while playing so good to know what i'm doing.

    Hitting the ball on it's top. It may go a few yards forward. It could go a few yards backward.

    thinning
    Hitting the ball above it's horizontal equator. The ball flies low and far, and rolls. Usually forever.

    slicing
    This is the movement of the ball away from you in flight. For right handers, this means the ball bends to the right. Hard.

    hooking
    This is the opposite of a slice. The ball bends towards you, hard. For right handers, this ball bends left.

    Originally posted by kamal
    fade
    A ball that bends away from you, but only 5-7 yards. For right handers, it bends right.

    lob
    This usually refers to a high arcing shot that lands softly (ie it doesn't roll too much after landing - usually the roll is less than 2 feet).
