I have to go and work a lot on what you just said.
Thanks,

Remember...

Left Hand: Clubface.

Right Hand: Clubhead.

Also, for all Hitters and 'Manipulated Hands' Swingers (which is almost everybody else), a Ball Positioned forward of the Straightaway Position tends to produce Fades and Slices. That fact, combined with the lack of proper Left Hand Roll during Release and Impact, causes an Off-Center Impact -- the Clubface contacts the Inside-Aft Quadrant (2-B) of the Ball instead of directly in the Back, i.e., through its Centerline. Similarly, a 'back of Straightaway' Ball position tends to produce Draws and Hooks.

So, if you're fighting a Fade or Slice, make sure the Ball is Back in your Stance rather than Forward. And, keeping your Left Wrist Flat, Level and Vertical (4-A/B/C-1) in Fix, align the Clubface more Closed (which will tend to make it contact the Center or Outside-Aft Quadrant of the Ball). Properly executed, this will produce Clubface Alignment-Clubhead Path divergence and the Draw you are looking for.
