Make sure you're wrists are turning so the club face is closed at impact

don't cut across it as much.. basically you're almost slicing it ? try to have a straighter swing path or even better in-out and obviously make sure your clubface isn't open at impact

One thing I found to really help me with my fade is to maintain the flat wrist plane on the backswing. For instance, on the top of your back swing, you should be able to put a ruler or anything flat and rest it on the top of your forearm and there shouldn't be a gap where your wrist is...it should all be flat. This will promote you to release at the proper time at impact and less likely have a fade/slice. This worked for me...hope it helps.

I have this problem some. I play a slight cut with my driver and every now and then its a big fade. I know this is when my hips get out ahead of my upper body. Maybe check that by slowing your swing down just a touch and work more on tempo.

This might not be the problem, but it sounds like what I do occasionally so I figured I would throw in my 2 cents.

1. make sure your stance is square, maybe even a bit closed.
2. swing down the line more, or even from the inside a bit.
3. make sure you make a full release.
4. as has been said, if ur hips slide out too quick ur clubface will get thrown open, pretty much assuring a bad slice.

    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
    • Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
