Hooks and Slices and Draws and Fades have very different meanings and Set-up procedures.

Quote:
7-2...For the “True” Hitter, Moving the Ball back (Hook alignment) or forward (Slice alignment) – always with the Clubface aligned to the Target Line per 2-J-1 – gives straightaway initial direction (2-B). Opening the Clubface (Slice Grip) or Closing the Clubface (Hook Grip) at your normal Impact Fix, produces Pushed Slices and Pulled Hooks and so require a compensating Target Line adjustment to make it square to the changed Clubface alignment.

For the “True” Swinger, “Opening” the Plane Line (10-5-D) until it is square to the Clubface alignment at the new “Aft” location, will produce a “Fade.” With the Ball moved Forward, “Closing” the Plane Line (10-5-E) square to the Clubface alignment at the new location, will produce a “Draw.” The Curve of the their paths, after the straightaway initial direction, will be proportional to the divergence of the Plane and Target Lines. Herein, “Path” terms (Ball Path etc.) refer to total Ball behavior, whether or not it remains straightaway. “Line” terms (“Target Line” etc.) refer to the straightaway direction of Aim.
D plane applies Grip adjustments to change Clubface Alignments relative to Clubhead Path. "D-Planers" are Hookers and Slicers.

If a Swinger (relying on CF to Square the Clubface for Ball Separation) used his standard Procedure for Drawing and Fading, then, additionally applied a Grip Adjustment, then, he would hit Low Draws and High Fades, or High Draws and Low Fades without sacrificing the Line of Compression.

Drawing and Fading refer to Plane Line Adjustments, Hooking and Slicing use parallel Plane and Target Lines.

Or, "call it whatever you like".
