Here is my problem i used to play a high fade. I took 2 years but i finally got rid of that shot in my bag and now i play a draw. The problem is mainly on the tee shots, the draw is too much. It is almost a power pull. I still get tons of distance with it but on tighter courses to hard to keep in play. Now i wish i had mu good old faithfull fade in the bag. Any tips would be great. i think it is mainly my hands might be too fast.

watch your alignment, left foot closer to ball than right foot (closed) causes draws.

watch your grip is not too strong.

or you might be swinging too fast. like you mentioned. so you might have a 'timing' problem.
if i dont wait for my arms to catch up to my body = fade,slice. i swing my arms past my body before it has a chance to rotate through = draw,hook.
i get it spot on=straight drive :)

Thanks for the good advise. I totally forgot about my foot position. That was on of the swing changes i made at the begining of last year. I might just have to do a small adjustment to it.

The thing that will help you most is... lessons. I cant really help you with this without seeing your swing path and speed. Some people i teach had similar problems, with slicing and pushing etc, they simply changed their tees. 2 years ago when i was slicing (i was 11) i changed from plastic castles to wooden normals... my slice was no longer

Just one to try.

    • Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine. 
    • I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
    • I am terrible at the hip stuff so have no idea how to get it right but you look like you are trying to stall hip slide altogether.
    • I think you are right about the margin of error. I was watching the Yankees Vs Athletics the other night. They overturned multiple calls cause it was just outside the box, but then kept a few strikes that just touched the line of the box. the difference in the 2 pitches was maybe a 1/16 of an inch.
