I often get asked by players how to hit draws and fades. Most of the time players do too much when they try to work the ball creating bad habits in their golf swings. I am reminded of a playing lesson I saw with Jack Nicklaus where he made working the ball seem extremely simple. Jack wanted players to set the club face where he wants the ball to finish (target) and set the body up where he wants it to start. After making those adjustments he would swing as normal as he possibly could and the adjustments of the body and club face would produce the shot he desired. Try this technique to start moving that golf ball in the right (correct!) place.
Remember:
To hit a draw (right handed golfer) - set your club face at the target (pin) and aim your body the amount to the RIGHT you would like the ball to start and swing normally
To hit a fade - set your club face at the target (pin) and aim your body the amount LEFT you would like the ball to start and swing normally
