Yes, for fading the ball for hitting- you would start with your normal straight away ball flight- with you left wrist flat level and vertical- say clubface looking at the initial starting target- for simplicity of this example. Then if you want to fade, you would move the ball forward a certain amount, RETAKE your grip with the left wrist flat level and vertical - at the new ball location- with the clubface facing the initial starting target. If you want to hook the ball you would move it back from the straight away ball location- then RETAKE your grip with the clubface facing your the intitial target line, and the left wrist flat, level and vertical. Of course, other related adjustments would need to be made- but for this example it's important to clarify that for hitting or manipulated swinging- you are retaking the grip at the new ball location- not just moving the ball forward with the same grip.

Here are some quotes from Lee Buck's Groove Your Swing My Way on this here very subject. Pretty interesting . . .

LEE BUCK ON AIMING THE CLUBFACE

"When it comes to aiming the clubface, I'm going to give you a real shocker. I'm sure you've all heard or read that you should aim the clubface down your initial flight path, or directly at your target, if you're going to make a straight shot.

If you're going to align yourself 30 to 40 degrees left of your flight path at address, you've also got to aim your clubface, and the back of your left hand, to the left."

WHY LEFT?

"If you aim your clubface to the left of your flight path, as I do, your wrist will not turn the clubface from right to left so radically through impact. Instead, to avoid hitting the shot to the left, wher you've aimed, you will tend to hodl your on-path clubface alignment slightly longer as it swings throught the ball. This increases your chances of making your clubface look in the right direction at the right time. The degree to which you should aim to the left depends on whether you normally slice or hook your shots."

Hmm . . . angled hinging and hitting???

LEE BUCK ON HOOKING . . .

"If you've been curving your shots badly to the left, you should try just the opposite procedure. First try aimingyoru clubface more to the left at address. This may make you react in yoru swing by reducing your wrist roll in that direction. You'll fear rolling your clubface to the left because you've already aimed father left. Instead, you'll hold the door open a bit longer through impact and thereby elimated the closed clubface that was giving you the hook."

Where have we heard the door analogy???
