Phew! Disclaimer first. I'm no expert, but............
For most of us, golf is a hobby, ableit, something that we want to get better at, but time and money constraints, means that it's a hobby. We'll never be able to earn a living as a touring pro, so as I see it. Kinda work with what you've got.
What's wrong with a natural fade? Okay, so you might lose a bit of distence off the tee, but for those all important GIR, it's a godsend.
I'd love to have a swing like Luke Donalds, but the chances are it ain't ever going to happen. So I've recently excepted that I need to work with the flaws I have and tweak that to maxi mise my game with the least amount of time and money, (or effort).
Work with it. We all have a 'natural shape'. (Unless of course you have the 'time!')
