your shot shape

[tim31x]

driver-medium launch that climbs gradually higher and higher, mostly straight the occasional slight draw or fade....irons-straight with medium/high trajectory, ocassional little draw not much....wedges-straight, relatively high trajectory.....normally my shot trajectory is a low-mid launch that climbs higher and higher with added distance.

I just try to hit it straight. I view sidespin as my #1 enemy. My good shots go straight, at least. A fade is fine, but draws scare me. I don't think there's anything worse than having to fight a case of the hooks.

I have a high draw as a natural shot shape but I've been trying to play a fade as much as I can. I've tried to keep the draw for any shots to the fairway so it runs a bit and approach shots to fades so I get softer landings when I hit those greens. I shape to the course too but if I don't really need to do anything spectacular, I'm gonna try to hit those shots.

my irons are almost invariably a high draw. my misses are usually slightly lower pushes. my driver is a mid-trajectory draw, with misses also usually being a push.

When my ball-striking is on, I hit it straight, and may hit a slight 7 yd fade if I want to.

Depends on the shape that would be suited best for the shot. I work the ball anyway I want.

i can only wish i could work it on command and get the results like you.

my PREFERRED shape is actually a slight fade....but that's gone now that i've been re-working my swing during the off season.... i can work the ball... but not as consistently as i'd like..... i'm still learning how to control how much the ball will turn in either direction.

I hit a draw with every club except the wedges(sometimes I hit a slight draw with the putter). The driver and woods are usually a 7-10 yard draw, which causes problems on holes with tight tee boxes. My irons are a slight draw. I love to hear some guys talk about taking the left side of the course out of play, that's where I play from 90% of the time. It sucks on several of the courses I play, because they all of their dog-legs are right and tight.

Driver: Low straight drives, sometimes slight fade which I prefer.
Woods: Straight high
Irons: Straight, and slight draws or fades when I need to avoid trouble. I used to be able to cut it on command, but can't cut it too much anymore.
Wedge play: Depends on shot. Lately lots of wind so I am playing low trajectory one bounce shots. When no wind I go for the towering high drop dead shot.

Driver- slight fade
Irons - slight draw
Wedge- straight

so can i

i was askin natural shot shapes

[DavidFehertysBike]

My natual shot shape is perhaps a 1 or 2 yard draw. I pretty much hit everything dead strait at whatever my target is. I dont "work" the ball from side to side very much. I have a high cut with mid and long irons that i can control pretty well, but i rarley use it.

well as the title states this thrad is about your shot shape.mine are as followed,driver=who knows irons=high high draws.

You said it for me!

[ZaPPPa]

Driver = High fade (5-15y)
Woods = High fade (5-10y)
Hybrids = Mid fade (5-10y)
Irons = Very high straight
Wedge = Very high straight

Tons of backspin.. Needs work.

[birdiemachine]

Low draws across the board. Need to get my long irons higher to become a player. I do like my wedges when its windy though. I think I hit a fade once...this was not confirmed by my playing partners.

[Prodigy]

What ever i tell the ball to do.... i like to hit really high fades in to a pin but sometimes i hit a mid-high draw depending what the wind is doing. But its so fun to hit obnoxious fades and draws haha

[TMO]

Driver - Straight to power fade
Woods - Straight to power fade
Long Irons - Straight to power fade
Mid Irons - Straight to .... you get the idea

[David in FL]

Driver and 3 wood are high fades.

Hybrids are dead straight, I still carry a 3 iron just because it's much more workable for me than the hybrids.

Long and mid-irons, I'll work as needed, but prefer a high draw.

Short irons, I prefer a high cut.

I've been known to shank a putter......
