What shot shape do you play?

[Jay-Bird]

I like to draw the ball. I can and will cut it if I have to.

[Harry SasQuatch]

Fade with the driver more often than not and a pretty consistent draw with the irons. I can't fade an iron for the life of me.

[Williamevanl]

Of the 500 strangers I have played with there have been two that really impressed me. They both hit the same shot shape with nearly every swing, a push draw. Not a line up right and just straight draw but a line up straight start the ball right and drift it back dead parallel with their stance.

So... I try to do that 90% of the time and fail more than I would like.
If I don't obsess with that I'm a single digit handicapper with a stupid fade that I hate.

Not giving up though.

thats my shape

I recently got my swing plane flatter and I play a draw now. With my old, more upright swing, I played a fade however a pull hook was pretty common when I got over the top of it.

[clubhousehero]

I usually hit a draw, although sometimes, for whatever reason, i just can't turn the ball over and hit a fade.

Not to get too off topic but what are the advantages and disadvantages of hitting a push-draw vs a regular draw? I used to hit a push draw, but i also blocked alot of shots too, so i've since changed my swing. Just wondering really.

[James_Black]

Well my natural shape is a draw.

But I can play a fade if I want

[MI Rob]

Natural shot shape has been a nice draw. I like to hit it straight though so it is between the two when I play and what the situation is.

[dragonflyin]

I aim to hit it straight and don't put side spin on the ball unless the shot requires it.

[bhingston]

Draw with my irons, fade with my driver.

[wubskis]

Straight, because in all honesty, I'm not yet sure how to successfully draw or fade the ball.

[MiniMoe]

Dead straight almost to a flaw right now. It bugs me a little because I should just aim down the middle, but I like to aim left side and play a little fade with the driver. I both love and hate to look up and see that ball flying straight..... down the left side. I have to really focus on leaving the face open to make sure it fades like I want.

[bunkerputt]

Low fade with the irons, high draw with the woods, dead straight with the wedges. I also play ultra-baby draws with little bump and run shots around the green so I can limit the check-up.

[Titleist Man]

I usually play a slight draw but my instructor has me trying to hit a fade because i had a bad case of the hooks a while ago...... So im hitting a fade, but right now i can hit it left or right and low and high!!!!! I love swing changes

[pounc007]

I like to play a a good high draw with the irons, and I low fade with the driver and 3 wood.

[andef]

i try to keep my iron shots straight but i'm quite confortable hitting a fade so i turn to that shot-shape whenever i'm not having a great round
i hit a draw with my driver to stay away from a slice i seem to be getting when i don't play well.

[sean_miller]

I typically try to hit the ball straight rather than work it more than just a few feet.

If there's a distinct advantage to hit a fade/cut on a particular shot, I'll give it a go, but slight draw always seems to fit my eye on tight driving holes (I aim slightly right of centre off the tee). That's probably because historically, my wildest misses are left.

[Yukari]

If I fade, it was an accident. I can not do it on purpose.
