If the ball had a clock on it (12 is pointing toward the target), at what time.

If the ball had a clock on it (12 is pointing toward the target), at what time should you generally aim to have the clubface hit the ball? 7am/pm? If you do this, you would hope for more of a draw correct? If you wanted to fade it, would you try hitting it at 5am/pm?

Hello Krishna. The clubface will strike approximately in the 7 O'clock territory. I really don't focus on the strike point of the ball when maneuvering fade/draw. There are more factors that affect ball flight than location of strike. It will be a combination of face angle and path. The clubface angle will dictate 85% of initial ball flight.
