Fade vs. Draw and Eliminating a Side
Yo! Hennybizzle.

You said earlier no missing left and right. Just miss one way . . . Do you think there is a ball flight that better suits the handicap player? Some say a draw goes farther . . . Any thoughts on bulding a swing around a shape?

Thanks T8R.

Bucket,

I don't think that it matters. I have played both ways for long stretches. Some say draw goes father. I was longest off the tee hitting the fade. Maybe my irons are longer drawing because I get better compression. Before I was a cutter, I was a bad hooker. I learned to fade because I got sick of the low left shot. Instead of changing shapes, I could have just learned a better way to draw, but it took me a long time to find someone who could teach me that.

I would like the handicap player to develop a pattern. When you have a solid pattern, you can fit your game to the course. You don't have to commit to one shape forever, but you need a shot you can count on. Learn how to hit the shot. Put pressure on your game on the range. Select a target and a side you can't miss on. Have a friend watch and tell him the shot you are going to hit. Figure out what you do wrong to cause the double cross. Stop doing that.

There is plenty of help on this site to learn how to hit it. Practice with a purpose. Learn to do it under some pressure.
