fading the ball

I understand to hit this shot you need a slilghly open stance and the club face should face the target. My question is, to prevent the club face from turning over, would anybody recommend keeping the leading edge of the club moving towards the target, rather than allowing the club face to turnover. Does this seem like a good visualization? It seem that as opposed to a draw, the right hand then stays under the left (right handed) as opposed to a draw where the right hand moves above the left.

Re: fading the ball

Just open your stance, clubface at target as you say, then hit solidly down the line of your feet with a normal swing.

Re: fading the ball

yeh, that makes sense. the problem is aiming left and then having the clubface shut on you. It seems to me trying to keep the leading edge towards the target sort of prevents this.

Re: fading the ball

I defiantly feel like I "hang on" to the right hand not rolling "over" the left. It keeps the face open into impact.

But I think the best way to fade a show is with the path, and not the face angle. The path is so much easier to control, all you do is use your arms to swing outside slightly (or push away from your body slightly) and then in the downswing, just pull them in slightly. This causes the out-to-in path and is very predictable. Face angle stays the same, so this also keeps the hight the same.
