Could someone run me thru this. From memory swingers and hitters have different rules for working the ball. How does a hitter fade, draw and hit higher?

Rotate the grip (the rubber thing on the club that says Golf Pride, not the hands to club). A closed or open face at address will hit different sides of the ball. Then, the stance has to be adjusted to allow for the curved flight of the ball. A "pure" Swinger could move the ball in the stance, but from what I recall in the audio tapes, Homer preferred using the manipulated clubface, even for swinging.

Thanks very much Ted, and congratulations on your recent recognition. So no change of grip, just a change of clubface alignment then to be calibrated by the stance. Thanks. How about higher and lower?
Wow, things started to come together today. First the bad. Video showed a few probs - i never knew just how inflexible i was. I am playing from acquired motion at best, terrible for a 37yo lol. I also still need to get my right forearm substancially lower at my impact address. It's improving tho. My left elbow is also bending a lil past impact, i need more extensor action. The good - haven't been playing much but hit it the best i have in years at the range. My driver was finally under control, i even worked it with Ted's hints above, both ways too. I can't wait to take it to the course tomorrow. I sat for 10 mins then got up and striped three drivers right away. The address vids are superb, watched them right before i went to the range. What really did it for me today was concentrating totally on the magic of the RF, i used a very early elbow break exactly in the fashion of Ted's drill per taking the left arm back while gripping it with the right hand on the left wrist and started creaming the ball one after another.
Thanks heaps Ted, that working the ball technique worked a treat
