I used to have a really bad slice with my driver. Now I've got it down to a controllable fade, but if I try to adjust the clubface to compensate for it then the shot just becomes a bad hook. I see some people that can hit it dead straight, no curve at all. What can I do to make my drives like that? I know the 5 keys talk about having the clubface square and swing plane t your target, but how do I actually do it?

If I hit a driver straight, it's a mishit. I draw everything. I'd like to set up a 3 wood that would fade for those holes I need a fade. I have a Ping K15 driver which is tough to fade. my old Taylormade I could fade.

Yeah the K15's have more weight towards the heel (like the G30 SF Tec) so they are going to be really tough to fade.

One of routines for the driver that helps me drive it straight is to aim for something in the middle of the fairway and make some practise drive motion with my free right hand like I'm throwing a football underhand while I'm facing my target. This keeps my right arm and elbow in a "pitch" position through impact

So how does that work?

If the weight is towards the heel then the club head wants to turn over more through impact?

CoG more towards the heel, so I'm assuming you're going to get gear effect on anything hit on the center of the face like a slight toe hit, creating draw spin. That's how I understand draw-biased drivers to work anyway.
