If you want a fade or slice, it’s exactly the same as if you were doing the draw. You’re going to aim the clubface where you want to ball to start, you’re going to aim your feet more to the left, and then take your grip and swing along your foot line with your normal swing. The face is open in relation to your path, so the ball should come out with some left to right shape. The more open you are, the greater the difference between the path and face. The face is going to be more open so you’re going to get more left to right shape.
