A fade is a shot in golf where the ball curves slightly from left to right for a right-handed golfer, or from right to left for a left-handed golfer. Here are some general steps to hit a fade:
Aim slightly left (for right-handed golfers) or slightly right (for left-handed golfers) of your target. This will help account for the curve of the shot.
Set up with an open stance. This means that your front foot is slightly farther away from the target line than your back foot, and your front shoulder is pointed left (for right-handed golfers) or right (for left-handed golfers) of the target.
Take a slightly weaker grip on the club. This means that your hands are rotated slightly counterclockwise (for right-handed golfers) or clockwise (for left-handed golfers) on the grip.
Swing with an outside-in path. This means that your clubhead should approach the ball from outside the target line and then cut across it, imparting the left-to-right spin that creates the fade.
