Lately I have been hitting all fades and I use to be a draw player. The coach I saw tonight said its because on my downswing I am swinging directly at the ball instead of lagging the club and swinging around so the club face is staying open. Is there any good drills I can do to make this happen. Sometimes when I feel like I swing out I hit it straighter with a draw. Please help.

Try and strengthen your grip a little.

I am a lefty and he said my left hand grip was perfect, my right hand one was a little weak. So that actually helped it get a little better. Anything else?

make it feel like you're swinging behind the ball, pull the handle down and with passive arms let the club do its thing. at first it feels like you're gonna stuff the club in the ground, and if you don't straighten your right arm you won't. the centripetal force exerted will pull the clubhead down and through the ball. trick is to feel like you're swinging with your shoulders, NOT your arms.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
