Lost my draw and straight shot, Help

[Williamevanl]

I have spent all winter working on better form and I finally got a chance to practice recently and my new problem is that I hit pretty consistant fades but find it difficult to hit the ball straight or with any draw. I noticed that my divots are very out to in which explains the fade but when I consciously try to straighten out the divot I push the ball right. The 'new swing' has decreased my distance with each club about 10-15 yards. What can I do to fix this?

Well one thing I would like to say is that if you’re hitting “consistent fades” I would keep those because consistent and golf are 2 words that rarely share the same sentence…

“Divots are very out to in which explains the fade but when I consciously try to straighten out the divot I push the ball right.”

If you used to hit draws and have recently changed to cuts you’re most likely pushing the ball right because your consciously trying to compensate for your new swing and leaving the club face open at impact. It really sounds like the classic “hips clearing too early syndrome”

The key to making a making a solid inside to out swing is if you attack the ball at the lower/inside quadrant of the golf ball. Try to keep your shoulder turn and wrist retention equal to your right knee instead of your right hip
