All my clubs, but most notibly my mid to long irons have a fade to baby fade when i hit them (Driver has a nasty slice). Im making solid contact consistently but the ball keeps fading right. I know for a fact my club face is square. I closed my irons towards the end of my round today and i was hitting the ball straight which tells me my hands arent rolling over though contact. I can even look at my divot and tell that the club face is open though impact. I think the problem is my grip. It feels comfortable but my right had is towards the recessed side instead of having the vest my thumb and finger makes pointing straight up my shaft. When i roll my right hand over on my grip i chunk or hook the ball. Does anyone have an idea what to do. I will also post a pic of my grip later tonight. Thanks in advanced.

Without commenting on your fade or why you fade, here is my take on the grip:

when I try tinkering with my grip, the results are sometimes very severe. I rarely roll a ball on the golf course, but when I'm doing a practice session tinkering with my grip, I might roll 5-10 in a row. I'm amazed at how a little shift in the grip can throw my swing off balance that much.

If I tinker with swing plane, or a different hip or shoulder movement, the shots still look acceptable, airborn but off target until I find the rhythm.

But when I tinker with my grip, the potential lies for me to hit ground balls back to the pitcher.

That's just my own experience. And I have found success with grips that are initially negative after a few dozen swings. It has made tinkering with my grip more productive in future sessions.

    • I was there just for sunday, and it went smoothly. Thanks @Hardspoon for helping in setting this up. 
    • I say this in believing the guy should just pay you and he's a d**k for not.  Do you guys play by the USGA rules strictly? If so, then the claim is valid. It sucks, but it is. Again, he is a d**k for being that nitpicky over it. If he wants to play the game of waiting for you to finish to have his ah-ha moment, again he's a d**k. Though, if the putter is non-conforming, you maybe able to claim that it is not a club?  Just talk to your group and don't invite him back.     
    • Couple of added points.  It was pink and maybe 18 long.  I am 6 1   And he waited until the round was over to say something when he was in my 4 some in the other cart. 
    • I would have paid you. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the extra putter was not in play.  Having said that "Did you declare the extra putter out of play?"  This person seems like a bit of a weenie and he is also setting a dangerous precedent. Let's say he wins next month. Then when it's your turn to pay up, you could refuse. Telling him "I timed you on hole 8 and you searched for your ball and found it at 3 minutes and 1 second. So, you should have taken stroke, plus distance and didn't." You could then show him your stopwatch feature on your phone where you timed it out to 3:01 and say "See."  I actually would just let it go and assume the guy is a weenie. Because doing stuff like that takes the fun out of friendly bets. If he can't afford to pay up, he shouldn't bet.
