Drawing the ball with NHA?

Saw Jim's comments on another thread and in keeping with the spirit of not hijacking threads, I am starting a new thread.

I am a bit confused by this. How is it possible to draw the ball with NHA? NHA implies swinging left with an out to in swing. In my shallow understanding of the D-Plane, having a neutral club face with NHA would promote a fade and with a closed enough clubface a severe pull/hook.

I used to suffer from severe pull/hooks which I attributed to my tendencies to come out to in with a very active right hand closing the face to the path compared to the swing path. Is there something that I am missing here?

I am not looking for Trackman numbers and would rather prefer some kind of layman terms if possible.

Regards.

Aim right, stay behind it a little more and close the face in your grip

I use NHA almost exclusively, but on the rare occasion when I have to hit a draw, I do exactly these three things. However, when I do them successfully and hit a nice draw it doesn't feel like an NHA swing. It feels more like the SD pattern.
