Hitting a Draw or Fade

photo credit: JohnHallAssociates   Hitting a draw or fade is not complicated, read on:

Draw:  (ball curves slightly left)  Line up square to your target as you typically would.  Once you are in position continue to maintain the clubface line with the target.  Now, line your body up right of the target.  Use your normal swing and swing along the line of your feet.

Fade: (ball curves slightly right) Once you are lined up with your target in the same manner as before, keep your clubface aligned with the target.  Now aim slightly left of target with your feet.  Swing along the line of your feet.

Using a draw or fade is advantageous when the green is guarded by bunkers front left or right, or if the length of the green is is angled left or right.
