I have uploaded this vid because most of the year i have been hitting a slight draw which i love, but the last 3-4 weeks i am hitting a high fade ! i would appreciate some pointers please..... 5 h'cap
Two things you need to work on, tempo, and clearing your hips too early. Your turning your hips toward the target to early which opens the clubface. Your hands aren't ahead of the ball really either, which will definitely cause a higher trajectory, and more often then not a fade. The first thing I noticed was your tempo though. It seems a little quick, but I think that's because your compensating for such a long backswing. I'd say first and foremost though, keep your hands ahead of the ball
I shouldn't be critiquing a 5 handicap in a 22 year old 8 handicap, but i do move the ball fairly well both ways. For me there are two things to think about in a draw/fade Timing and swing plane. For a draw a shorten my back turn ever so slightly and really focus in hitting the ball in a almost inside out way. For a fade i exaggerate my natural back turn and swing a tiny bit more steep making sure i am no longer inside outing and almost coming over the top.
