[Pa Jayhawk]

This last year I made the effort to go from a draw to a fade as my primary ball flight. It just set up better for my home course and better keeps me in play. As a result I am even happier that more times than not it results in a straight shot.

Just as when I started playing, my tendency with my driver is a straight starting fade. If it tends to get to be more than I really care for, I use the same process I did to fix it when I started playing. That being what you mention in concentrating on releasing my wrist properly. A good swing thought I read when I started playing was to imagine a finish where your left palm (right handed) is facing the sky as though to catch raindrops. Works for me, and when my fade starts to lean towards more of a slice by doing this will usually result in a straight shot.

I also read the Rotella book in the beginning of the year (2007) and really try and stay away from swing thoughts, so this is on of the few that I will ever use on the course when the fade gets a little out of hand and away from my liking.
