Do you also draw your sand and lob wedges on full swings? If not, do you adjust your aimpoint left (as compared to your longer wedges and irons) to compensate for straight (non-draw) ball flight?

My stock shot is a pull draw. I tend to hit little pulls with my sand wedge and lob wedge. They don't draw like my longer clubs do, but I do end up left of where I line up.

On all my normal full swing shots, I aim at the center of my chosen, targeted landing area. 

My shots can go reasonbly straight, or sometimes they will tail off at the very end maybe left, or maybe right. I have no consistent ball flight pattern, other than those three.

No, my gap, sand and lob wedges all go straight.  I mean, they don’t curve, not that they always go where I aim. 😉

One caveat tho, I don’t ever really take full swings with any of them.  Don’t think they’d curve much even if I did tho.

I aim where I need to for the ball to end up where I want given the anticipated ball flight.  Whether that’s a draw, straight shot, or fade.

Now, if only what I anticipated actually happened more often...  :8)

The more loft on the club, the less curve left or right it will display. That is, unless you can manipulate it like Bubba Watson! Or any other Tour pro you can name. And some of them can't even do it! 

When I played at my best, my longer clubs displayed a mild, baby draw. My short irons went string straight. I could manipulate the longer clubs somewhat to get them to do what I wanted to, but the shorter clubs resisted my efforts.

    • No rain while I was out (9am to 11:30am). Fairly pleasant for a late November day in the Mitten.
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-25 Did the BAD Challenge and hit a bunch more other little shots. This was one of the closer shots.
    • 70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.
    • Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲
