Over the last week and a bit I've probably hit 400 balls trying to solve the problem but I just can't seem to solve it. When I'm hitting the ball well I'm drawing it and I'd like to maintain that ball flight.
I've tried drill after drill etc.. My fear is that it's my grip. I have a strong grip and can see 4 nuckles at address. However, if I try to weaken my grip the club feels absolutely terrible in my fingers/hands.
All this and I've got a big golf trip this weekend involving 4 rounds...I've gotta get it fixed. Sigh....
I think I'm actually going to just try and teach myself how to hit a fade with my driver... My irons have been just fine which is the only thing saving me right now.
Sorry for the "cool story bro" but I need to vent over here... I'm losing my mind!!!

Unless you post some video then it's not going to be diagnosed. There are so many things you can be doing, even if you know what your ball is doing.
What I did (you can see the last page) is hit the range a few times, with a few drills in mind for different aspects. Try a good ~20 balls working on the drill, or until you feel you actually accomplished what the drill was aimed at. If that's not helpful, move on to the next. I fixed my slice pretty good on the range but it takes time to work it into the game.
Love these guys

They have a ton of videos for all different faults. They explain what happens if you're doing it, how to correct it, and a few drills to work on, all without too much babble like some other youtubers.
