Shape a fade or draw with setup changes

To shape shots, the speaker aligns a little open to hit a predictable fade. To hit a draw he keeps the same grip, squares up his toe alignment, forward-presses the handle a little, pre-closes his body, and swings more out to the right (as a right-handed golfer). Presented as his own repeatable method for turning the ball either direction from the same grip.
