Its all a matter of opinion I guess:

1. The guy who won the Phoenix Open was hitting the ball a country mile and he played a fade. What are we talking about distance wise 15, 20 yards?

2. Aiming down the left and fading takes the trouble on the right out of the equation. If its a consistent fade it shouldn't take much judging.

3. Possibly. I have an inconsistent BIG fade (ok its a slice waiting to happen ] but I'd have thought a controlled, repeatable fade would look just fine from where I was teeing off.
