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.

Double check your grip as well as your grip tension. The more loose your right hand is, the more likely the club will be able to be released naturally instead of actively.

    • Reviving this old thread as it seems most relevant to my question on "what is OB". I was playing a casual round by myself yesterday early in the AM. I pull my tee shot that lands near a road and then rolls across the road to the far side. I tee another up and land near the fairway. I was going to forget about the first tee shot, buy a man taking an early morning stroll points out where my ball ended up. I take a look and it is a great lie. I put it to 15 feet with my 54*, just miss my birdie putt and have a tap-in for par. Or do I? Here is the plan view of the hole: There are no white stakes anywhere, so I didn't think anything of it at the time. Here is a street view: Now I picked up my 2019 version of the Rules of Golf and found this  2.1 Course Boundaries and Out of Bounds: Golf is played on a course whose boundaries are set by the Committee. Areas not on the course are out of bounds. The second sentence leads me to believe that the ball was out of bounds as it was not on the course. It is unusual for me to be there, but lots of people wind up over there. I have a two-day tournament coming up here, so I want to be prepared. I suppose I could inquire in the clubhouse about the composition of the "committee" and then ask them, but short of that what does this community think?

    • This is a fun leaderboard. I don't feel particularly vested in anyone specifically albeit we all know one man is looking like he will most probably put this championship to sleep by the time the day is over today. On a different note, I've changed my tune on BDC in the last year or so. I found myself applauding and genuinely happy for him for making the cut yesterday. Iffff a LIV guy wins this year I would rather it be him. Unlikely Scottie who seems to have supreme control of all his levers, he lives a bit more on the edge and yet has the perseverance and might I say, infectious positivity of a small time hustler. Dude just keeps hammering away. Love it.
