Fix an over-draw by trying to hit a fade

The instructor describes a correction used in fittings: when a player is hitting too much of a draw, the instructor asks them to hit a fade. Nine times out of ten they just hit it straight, because attempting the fade produces less rotation and a less handsy, less-released club face, and the ball flight comes out very straight.
