Cut into the wind?

[ohiolefty]

Lads, homies, flunkies and friends...

The last few months I've been tinkering around with my shot pattern quite a bit. Trying to cut the ball more because I feel like, all-in-all, it's a more reliable shot shape for me that I can replicate even when I'm not playing sharply. Trying to minimize the damage when I don't have my A-game.

For those who play a cut, however, any tips for cutting the ball into the wind that go beyond "When it's breezy, swing easy?" Any inside tips or wisdom from the faders of the golf ball?

Lower your loft, bro.

Thanks, and I"ve tried that. It somewhat works...I adjust trajectory pretty well, and try this to hit low cuts - I do better with it using a scoring club than a longer iron, though. The cut thing seems like a no-brainer (most of the time) with the driver because it's so much easier to control in the air and on the ground (see contoured fairways).

I'm mainly looking for little 'wind cheats' guys may use, cutting the ball, into the wind with long clubs. More loft is obvious, but there are many little adjustments you can make into the wind with a draw and, at least intuitively, there have to be just as many to cutting the ball. I could be off, though. Humbly seeking knowledge!
