  1. Hi, this is my first post on this site. Wrecker, I'm a scratch golfer, so I'll try to help you with some input on drawing / fading. For me, I go through stretches where I naturally hit a draw, and I also go through stages where I naturally hit a fade. In the case for me, I've found that, during the time when I'm naturally hitting a draw, in order to fade the ball, I make my grip weaker. What this does is changes the angle of the clubface throughout my swing, with it being more "open" throughout. By it being open, it allows me to hit a fade. I also work really hard on my impact position, focusing on holding off on my club release for longer. On the other hand, the aspect you're trying to accomplish, when I'm in a period where I'm playing a fade naturally, in order to hit a draw, I strengthen my grip. This "closes" the club face throughout the swing, creating an opposite effect of the "weaker" grip. In case you don't know what it means to strengthen and weaken your grip, basically there is what is called a "neutral" grip. This is when you're gripping the club and you can look straight down at your left hand and see 2 knuckles, those of the index finger and the middle finger. Strengthening your grip is turning you left hand to the right on the club, and creating a visual of more than 2 knuckles. Weakening your grip is turning your left hand to the left, creating a visual of less than 2 knuckles. Hope this tip helps. Something to always remember, no matter if you're trying to hit a draw or fade, you still have to turn through the shot all the way with your body. Don't think that in order to hit a fade, you have to be "slower" on your turn through the shot, or that by hitting a draw you have to release the club with your hands more. Either shot still requires you to turn through the shot properly.
