When I'm teaching or playing a round with members at the club I work at, I'm often asked how to shape shots. First let's understand the three basic shot shapes. These include: straight, left-to-right (fade), or right-to-left (draw).
I found the easiest way to shape a shot is simply adjusting your finish position. To hit a draw, rehearse releasing the club fully (right forearm rotating over the left) through impact to a complete finish, with the club "wrapped" around your neck. To hit a fade practice holding off the release for a split second through impact, with your finish being "held off" with the club standing tall. (see picture above)
The secret is to visualize the shot you want to hit, then practice the swing while concentrating on the finish. Soon you'll be knighted as a shotmaker, and from there PGA super stardom.
Just remember who gave you the tip to make it all happen.
Cheers,
