normally it's a draw

these past couple weeks i've been all over the place.. pulling my arms across (not keeping them next to my body), going around, swing plane getting REALLY steep, etc ,etc so I've been fighting a slice as well as a hook at times...... it's quite frustrating because I'm missing both ways.. =/

Used to be a fade, but over the past four weeks I've changed my swing from an "over the top" type swing to a complete inside out, so now I have a pretty heavy draw on everything but my gap wedge to lob wedge.

I usually hit a slight draw but can also work the ball, especially with a driver, left-to-right if the hole calls for it.

I find it much easier to keep the ball in play and down the middle if I let the ball draw a little bit instead of fighting it.

I actually do both, but not by choice so much. My normal ball flight with my irons and wedges is a draw. My normal ball flight with the Driver and 3 wood is a fade. I can work my hybrid in both directions, but to draw it I have to close my stance about 3-6" by pulling my right foot back and really turning the club over through impact. I think that some of this may be due to the fact that all of my irons are 2 degrees upright and my driver, 3 wood and hybrid are standard lie. Any input on my hypothesis?

I fade the ball almost exclusively with my driver, but I can draw it if I really need to (wind benefit, working around trouble, dogleg etc) With my irons my miss is right, but typically I just hit it straight... Very very rarely will I miss an iron shot left.

My ball flight is ummm... inconsistent? LMAO Actually, of late I've had trouble working the ball. It either wants to bend massively one way or the other. Funny thing is that I can hit it straight though. Guess this is what happens when you take a break from playing for a while... Seem to have no feel at the moment...

Draw, don't try to do it, it just happens....so I've learned to plan for it. Although I often walk that line between a draw and a big hook.

Where's the button for "all of the above"?

Normally I'll draw the ball, but sometimes I hit a fade when I want a draw, or the draw turns into an ugly duck hook. Not pretty, I assure you.

I have a natural fade, but recently I've been starting to get quite a big draw on the ball which I'm happy about.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
