Re: Fading and drawing the ball

The Jack Nicklaus method is what I use as well essentially and I have totally agree with Mcdizzle. Your whole alignment must be parallel with your feet. Your club face is the only thing that stays the same.

If you are someone who draws the ball naturally, it is more difficult to fade the ball (and vice versa for someone who fades). So for a drawer (me), you will have to feel like you are making sure your wrist arent releasing and the opposite for a fader.

Now, for people who this doesnt work (and who usually hit it straight), here is another method that works also:

- For a draw, lean down slightly more from the waist
- For a fade, feel more upright

Then swing normally. (I think I read this from Tiger Wood's How I play Golf book). It does seem to work as well.
