High fade with driver

[caseycase]

Hi guys, Im having trouble with my driver. For about a month now I have been hitting my driver high and to the right. High fade almost a slice at times. I normally hit a preety stright drive. Sometimes with a slight draw. I cant seem to fix the problem. If it helps I have a callaway big bertha 9 degrees.

Checking the following:

a) ball position : should be just inside your front foot
b) hand position : should be no more than an open hand from your body to arms.
c) grip pressure : hold your club like a open tub of tooth paste.
d) feet position : shoulder width apart with the weight slightly more on the inside of your back foot.
e) Club face : slightly closed
f) set up : tilt your right shoulder slightly down, tuck your right elbow against your body, with a club on the ground aligned with your target, take the club back slowly in a one piece take away until it is parallal with your target or lined up with your club on the ground, the toe should be point up, start your wrist break and take the club straight up until your arms are fully extended and you have a straight line with your left arm. start you downswing with your hips and uncoil your body. keep your head behind the ball and extend your arms and let your wrist turn over and watch the drive go straight with a little draw.

keep in mind a compact turn around your spine without swaying

thanks ks8829, now thats what I call detailed instruction. after reading your post I think Ive been bringing the club way to far inside on my back swing causing me to have to redirect it on the downswing. Plus my grip is to tight. Thanks im going to practice at the range.

You're probably coming across the ball, out to in path, which causes the big, high, fade/slice...Just try to position your feet more closed, for a draw, and by doing that, it will naturally help you swing along the line of your feet, which in return promotes an IN to OUT swing, which is what you need here..

hope this offers some help.

Thanks ks8829 ever since i went over what you posted. Everthing came back to normal. The biggest problem seemed to be the grip pressure and the back swing . I was comming to far inside on the back swing causing me to have to reroute the club on the way down. I also had to trust my grip pressure. I was way to tight. I loosened up and let it fly. I missed 1 fairway last week . And was long and straight off the tee. Thanks again......
