Fade

[Wheelerm]

How can you stop your shot being faded on drives???????????

HELP PLS!!!!

Why? Jack Nicklaus faded his drives,as does Woods,and many,many more.

Because i can not really judge what fade it will have like how much it will fade so i see it as a bad thing really but i surpose it could be used as an asset

More pros use a fade than a draw.

If you can't judge it, then it is obviously more than a 'fade.' A 'fade' is a gentle, controllable left-to-right ball flight, therefore if you are struggling to control this motion you are suffering a cut or slice, which is a pretty weak, distance-robbing shot.

What I do when I want to hit a draw is aim to aim to ever-so-slightly "roll" the right hand at impact. This will promote helping the clubface to turn over very slightly, and hence promote that straighter shot.
You may be "coming out" of the shot, which will in turn promote a 'cut.' Try keeping your left eye positioned on the ball until you have swept it away. This will help you to prevent "coming over the top", and out of the golf shot.
Try also to keep your weight on your right side for a little longer before transferring it on your downswing. You can also try aiming your clubface at your intended target & aiming shoulders & hips, etc right of target. Just tinker with these things and you should be reet after a little while...

cheers mate most helpfull =)

Rolling the wrists for a draw is fine,if everything else before it is ok.Do it on top of a bad takeaway and it will be a disaster.I think you need to diagnose the problem first before looking for a cure.

Try hitting the ball with the clubface closed a few degrees at address, and see if that doesn't stop the fade. Or set up square and rotate your hand postion clockwise, for a stronger grip, works about the way.

Thanks for all your help, its because i stand farward in my stace i think so therefore make contact with the ball later, slicing it.

Thanks again =D
