This simply is not true. You need to hit the outside-back part of the ball. The inside-back quadrant actually is the right spot for a fade. To hit a draw, the leading edge has to be pointing down and to the left of the target when the clubface contacts the ball (exaggerated image, above right). For a fade, it has to point up and to the right. "

In the 1999 Championship at Medinah Country Club Tiger Woods came to the last hole with a one stroke lead over Sergio Garcia. The hole demanded a right-to-left ball flight. Listen to how he achieves it.
“I teed my ball and committed myself to the right-to-left ball flight. I took a deep breath, relaxed and muttered to myself. “Let’s aim for the inside of the ball and turn this bad boy over.” I made a full turn and swung aggressively, aiming for the inside quadrant of the ball and keeping my head well to the right so I would release the club properly.
I’ve hit better tee shots, but I can’t remember when. I just smoked it, the ball hooking about five yards and stopping in a perfect spot smack in the middle of the fairway.”
Maybe he doesn’t read Golf Digest.
