I need some help with begin consistent with the driver. Ive been trying to figure out what my "stock shot" is. From what I've heard its the ball path of a miss hit, or the shot you hit the most often? If thats the case would my stock be a draw since usually my miss is a hook?

Over the past few months i have been going for a draw off the tee. About 50% of the time i can get a solid draw what goes right where i want it to and that usually travels about 300-320 yards but that is with a lot of roll because the fairways here are literally a rock because of the lack of rain. The other 50%, the ball either hooks, or goes dead straight, which usually ends up right because thats where I'm aimed.

So now I've been working on hitting a fade hoping to gain some consistency. So far I'm hitting it pretty well, for how much I've worked on it. But again my biggest miss is still a pull with a slight draw which goes way left.

I was wondering how you guys would handle this and if i should stay with the draw because of my miss with the hooks or keep working on a fade?

Thanks!

Yesterday when i went out i tried to rotate my upper body more on the backswing to get a nice big shoulder turn and i was hitting them great. Hopefully that helped quite a bit

    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?     
    • I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.  
    • Day 4 - Had aspirations for range work but a family activity went a lot longer than expected. So 6 minutes of mirror work, feeling good about weight shift back and transition forward.
