Decided to go for the titleist 917 driver and had the fitting a couple of months back. During the fitting I was fitted for a stiff shaft, draw face and draw weight. Had a lesson last night and hitting more of a fade now. Would the slight swing change knock the settings all out??

IMO, no. If anything the draw face and draw weight should help you from over-fading/slicing the ball

It is just my experience, and I'm sure people will disagree with me, but I have found that the draw face and weight settings don't overcome your swing.

Physics is physics.  If the club face is open, relative to the club head path, the ball will fade/slice regardless of any bias the club has.  It could be that a "draw" driver will, with practice, eventually encourage a slight cut; as it is the only way to hit the ball straight.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."
