Need help with my Right Fade.

[Roy]

I Decided to redo my post after viewing it , I kinda answered my own question.

I have a Slight Fade to the right on my driver shots. I practice daily and know about the grips with the hands and all that . I have viewed many video's and read a few books but cant seem to shake this Fade I have, Its almost a slice .

I have no one to take lessions from due to the small town I live in . I seen a TV show about a Driver called the medicus and figured Id ask you guys if it really works or is it just another Money trap. Thanks.

At your level you're at, I doubt the equipment will do anything to help you out.
Something isn't right in your swing. But as to what, it's quite hard to say.

Well my average Drive is around 270 . I thought about buying a offset driver, A guy told me at the practice range yesterday that i was coming over the top on my down swing. So I look at him and said to myself , The club has to come over the top to come down....

Its' weird really, I dont do it all the time but most of the time when it happens , Its a banana slice, But when i hit it good and straight it has a fade. I may just buy one of those inside gagets, I love the sport but iam getting discouraged with my shot to shot pattern.

Also , As i stated in my first post, I am also hitting all my Irons except my PW the same distance. Which makes no sense to me whatsoever.

You are either swinging out to in,or you are failing to get the clbhead square.You need a pro.We can all guess online but if you hit 270 then its a problem you need a pro to sort.
When did you last work on yor bottom half? Are you clearing your left side properly?

Well, Like i said I'am pretty new to the sport still, I feel that I'am turning the clubhead out , I try to currect this by rotating my forearms it works sometimes but if I over do it, I find myself getting a duck hook. Which Rarely happens but my shot still fades.

Go get lessons. We cannot help you without seeing your swing in person...it sounds like you are doing well for a beginner.

And BTW - if you can eliminate the slice and have a Slight Fade as your normal shot - then there is a school of thought that would say - Keep it. There are many professional golfers who have worked for years to hit a Slight Fade. Phil Mikelson (for one) worked for an entire year to convert his game to a Slight Fade.

Lee Trevino is in the golf HOF with a Slight Fade too. Eliminate your slice and then aim a bit left of target and play your Slight Fade the rest of your life.

Fade is a nice shot, and under a pressure, a go-to-shot.

When you say you're hitting all your irons the same distance, we need to know some things:
1. Are you making clean contact? Thin, fat or top shots? Put some talc powder on the clubface and see where you hit the ball. Also the best way to practice is on the grass, as the carpet is way too forgiving.
2. What is the ball flight of your irons?

And for the medicus driver, I can easily make a hard full swing without breaking it and make a big slice...
If you can't get any lessons or are selftaught, then try videotaping your swing with a digicam or something. It's very helpful.

My irons are pretty soild hits, I have no trouble what so ever hitting the irons , I find myself hitting them mid to top, but always goes straight. And the field I practice at is grass only.

I have a update though, After watching a video yesterday about holding the Clubs in your fingers and not your hand I no longer have a slice its now considered a mild fade to the right.

Now I just need to work on my short game, and also how to pull the club above my head more without screwing up my swing for longer distance.

Glad to hear you are holding it properly...good job - in the fingers man - not in the palm.
