Play the ball a little forward in stance.

Open stance and club face.

Take club outside normal line on

this game.  Just ask my ex-wives.

The easiest way to fade the ball is to simply  open your stance.
For  right-handed players, simply set up with your feet, hips and
shoulders facing about 20 degrees left of your normal
alignment; and allow your swing plane to follow the line (or
path) of your feet.  Mechanically, you will be creating a swing
plane from out to in (picture Lee Trevino) that will move the ball
from left to right.  The easiest way to practice and learn this shot
is to use a club to help you by laying the shaft down along the
ground along your feet and practice swinging the club along that
path.
