Believe me, I wish I could. I've been trying to get the fade back. I used to hit all fades, then took lessons. Within a month I was hitting all draws. For a brief time I had iron draws and driver fades. Now it's a crapshoot. Sometimes I have a driver cut going, sometimes a draw. 3W-wedges are all slight draws when I'm swinging well. I went on this computerized setup a few time over the winter that measured the swingpath and clubface at impact. I've got a consistant in to out path with a slightly open face at impact. The swingpath is more than the face angle, superceeding it so to speak. Basically it's a slight block that draws back online. Of course finding the base is how to go about working the ball. To hit a cut I need to open up to the point I will get the swingpath to be slighty out to in but be able to maintain the same face angle at impact, not shut it and pull it left. To draw the ball I just close up a bit and the same thing, don't pull it, just let the swingpath draw the ball with the face angle a constant. No matter what the shotshape, face should be dead at the target at impact.
