Hit a true fade with hands forward, square to your line

Trevino explains how he hits his fade: he puts his hands well forward, keeps his hands close to his body, stays square to his target line, and rotates and comes across the ball to produce a true fade rather than a push-fade. He contrasts this with Tiger Woods and Tom Watson, who instead open the clubface a touch and cut across it. His caveat is that a 'holder' who opens the face will shove or push the fade right, so he keeps the face square to his line and his hands forward. A shot-shaping method from one of the game's great ball-strikers.
