I am hitting driver straight (with a few slice/fade here and there). Should I aim at developing draw with driver? What about the Irons?

In my Bag:

Big Bertha 3 Wood

I would say no, keep the small fade as it is easier to control and when you fade too much it's not as bad and when you draw too much.

The fade tends to hit and stop rolling sooner, the draw will hit and keep rolling.

I have been working for almost 2 year trying to get rid of the draw and at times I still hit it, epsecially with my long irons.

I would say it depends. Beung is right though, a fade is the easiest ball to hit and control distance with. TBH, hitting a little controled fade or a cut shot is alot easier than actually hitting the ball strait. Most of my shots with clubs longer than a 6 iron tend to draw a little so im stuck with it. If try to make an adjustment to keep from drawing the ball i will usually shank that shot low and right. Hitting a draw is also easier than hitting it strait, from my expereince.

no, you don't have to hit a draw. a draw will give you a little more distance, but a fade is easier to hit and a little easier to control like mentioned above, so stick with it if it works for you.

I would definately learn to both draw and fade the ball at will. Whether you use them or not... it helps you fix other problems that may come up with your swing.
