Just looking for everybodies way they like to hit the power fade. I know there’s a couple techniques but I think I wanna go to the fade for more control.
Slightly open stance and shoulders. I keep the hands more towards my belt buckle and aim the face towards my target (where you want the ball to end up)
Standard S&T setup, weight fwd, take away, etc. DO NOT RUSH the downswing! Drop it naturally, then swing hard towards second base. The feeling I have, hard to explain, is that I hold the right hand wedge waaay past impact. Even though that really doesn't happen. Lots to digest, I know --- try this with a 6-7 iron with
This is just me, but when I want to hit a power fade, I play the ball 'slightly' forward and hit it like I'm lining it to just over the second base bag! And through impact I'm hitting the S&*T out of it and extending thru that target at impact. I get a solid fade. Seems to work for me
That "slightly forward" position you speak of, @daniel.boggs, is putting the Grid to work for you. And yes - when you've got that fade working consistently you really can go at it hard - or hit the S&*T out of it.....🤣
If you haven't already done so, now might be a good time to go through the Shot Shaping course. One you familiarize yourself with the "Grid" - and assuming your downswing is consistently riding the proper path - you can then use it to your advantage to shape shots
Also, I demonstrate an alternative method to hit the fade in this YT channel episode.
Perhaps others might chime in with their thoughts and experiences.

half swings until you can groove it.
