Getting a golf ball to fade or slice requires the clubface to be open at impact or just beginning to open at impact. There are a couple of ways to accomplish hitting a fade or slice.

A couple of keys to remember. Tension in the swing contributes to hitting a slice so you can grip a little tighter feeling more tension in your forarms and hands. If you’re using a more upright swing as described below, put the ball a little more forward in your stance.

Small fade
To get the ball to fade less, you can address the ball with a square clubface and swing the club outside to inside and feel your forearms not turning over at impact leaving the clubface open. Open your stance by sliding your back foot forward about 6 inches will help you swing outside to inside. Also having an upright swing makes it easier to swing outside to inside. Swinging the club back inside initially also makes it easier to swing from the outside to inside on the downswing.

Medium Fade to Slice
To get more of a fade, you can open the clubface at address and point the clubface where you want the ball to end up while your body line points in the direction where you want the ball to go initially before it starts turning and then just swing parallel to your body line and because the clubface is open at impact, it will impart sidespin to the ball which will cause the ball to turn toward the target where the cluface was pointing at address.

Major Slice
Combine both techniques above.
