Why fade?
As I read this forum and other places, it seems that natural ball flight of a hitter is usually fade. But why is it?

I thought a swing path is down, out and forward at the impact point regardless of whether a golfer is a hitter or swinger. If this assumption is wrong, then what I am going to say below is a moot point.

I am assuming a initial ball flight depends on a club face. If a swing path is in to out and a club face is closed relative to the swing path, I guess a ball flight is either push-draw or pull-hook (or push-hook?) depending on how closed the club face is. If a club face is open relative to a swing path, I guess a ball flight is push-fade (or push-slice).

So if a hitter employ in-to-out with a angled hinge, does it mean a hitter usually hit push-fade?

Is a hitter's swing path slight out to in?

Thanks,
DK
