Learn To Hit A Fade
1. Open Your Feet Position
In your normal golf set up, you would want to have your feet positioned parallel to your target line. Well, in setting up to hit a fade, your feet want to be pointed to the left (if you are right handed) with your right foot in front of your left foot.
2. Open Your Shoulders Position
You want to align your shoulders parallel to your open feet position. This open shoulder position will promote an outside in swing needed for a draw.
3. Aim To The Left Of Your Intended Target
Your golf ball is going to move right (if you are right handed) so you must aim left of the intended target to get the desired results.
4. Open The Club Face
When you are making contact with the golf ball you want to impart a slice spin on the golf ball and this is helped along by having an open club face. You will have to use the practice range to determine how much you want to have your club face open. Obviously, the more you open the clubface the more the golf ball will fade or slice.
5. Make Sure You Have A Weak Grip
A weak golf grip is when the Vs on your right and left hand are pointing toward the center of your body. In general, you want your hands to be positioned to prevent roll your right forearm to roll over your left when completing your golf swing. In short, you want to keep the club face open through impact.
6. Swing Along The Plane Of Your Open Set Up

7. Do Not Let The Clubhead Release
Everything is all set up for you, you are positioned to the right, you have a weak grip, you have the right swing plane. Now, what you need to remember to do is not to release the clubhead.
