Trying to fade / slice my driver

[yeis20]

I have tried to do this over the last few rounds and I can no longer seem to hit this shot, and there are a few holes that require you to go out a shoot and fade a bit or go straight up the fairway. A stright hit or draw into the other fairway is where I have been.

My plan in the past was always back away from the ball a bit to make me "reach" for it and this would allow me to hit a high fade. Slightly open faced club face at address as well.

Last 2 rounds it has been huge bombs dead straight, no draw action but defintely no fade either.

So now if this continues my drives are even LONGER then before, and that is insane to me as giving it juice I was consitently well over 3 bills easy today.

What slight changes can be made to be able to fade the ball?

fade the driver or irons:

1) Take the club slight outside the line on your take away, the more you take it outside the more it will fade
2) Keep the club face open throughout the swing and do not turn it over

If you want to draw the ball, move your back foot away from the ball... if you want to slice, move it towards the ball move than your front foot. Adjusting my back foot always alters whether I slice/draw, I just need to find the happy medium always

fade the driver or irons:

Can't be more well put than that. Exactly how I do it!

I just orient the club face along the target line (where I want the ball to end up in the end). Then I align my feet/shoulders/hips along the line where I want the ball to start and swing naturally from there. If you put a natural swing on the ball this way the ball will start to the left and fade from there.

Do the opposite to hit a draw.

Yep, easier said than done. Hit the range and give this a try a few times. If your fundamentals are sound, this will work just fine for you.

The outside in is what is a challenge to me.

The suggestions are the obvious physics for ball flight. Was hoping more for the tricks that help you personally accomplish this.

A normal drive address for me is a ball around the middle of my stance, maybe slightly forward with the club face facing perfectly on-line. I definitely have a slight inside to out swing plane as a slight draw is my normal play.

I do find that playing the ball forward is a recipe for bad results usually for me

The stance change (slightly open) might be my best option. Will need to experiment when I go to the range next. I have a bad feeling that doing this will require some "training" as I have always had a propensity to bail out to the right on this type of stance.
