You want a power fade, rather than the "out-to-in" weaker version. I have always hit a draw but for a variety of reasons wanted to transition to a fade this season and this works, well.

Basically, aim quite a long way open with feet, hips and shoulders; maybe further than you'd think but you need to practice it to see what works for you. Align clubface on the target and hit it, hard.

I get great 5-10 yards fades which are long. If I'm a bit off all I get is either a slight pull (left semi) or a bigger cut right fairway. I have totally lost the hook I occasionally had or the block which never drew. I don't weaken my grip but then I have a slightly weak grip anyway. As a side-effect(?) I'm hitting my irons much crisper as well; lovely ball-turf contacts throughout the set .
