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.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
