It sounds like the last couple of posts are referring to Jack Nicklaus' method of working the ball, as
Mizunoman stated.

Draws: Stand closed with a straight faced club and swing normally, this should produce draw spin, as with the fade the ball will behave slightly differently in this case it will fly a little lower and land a little hotter, you may need to take less club to compensate. |
This is the method I use and it does work, assuming that the swing is on plane. A draw will become a pulled snap hook if the swing comes over the top. A fade will become a slice way right with the same swing. When I have the snap hook draw problem, I know I am not swinging well and revert to other practice methods to get my swing back on plane.
