I've hit a draw for years. I'm trying to switch to a fade.

Usually based on the penalty for hitting it bad. Water or OB left I hit the fade because my usual miss is a pull-hook. Tight fairways are usually a fade if hole shape allows. If my swing is pure any given day I will draw most tee shots.

I prefer fade. I seem to see that shot over a draw. If a hole requires a draw from the tee I pull out my 4W, which is draw bias.

My TaylorMade TP R5 Neutral 9.5* with a Fit on!-11 (six) Fujikura stiff shaft are perfect for
hitting a draw. I used to slice badly but about three years ago I worked hard to cure my slice.
Now I hit a draw or if it goes straight it will stay to the right side of the fairway which on my
home course is usually the safe place to be.

I tend to get the hips ahead of the swing and my misses usually go from slightly left to flat pull-hooks. It's dreadful at times, but I am working on it.

Fade all the way, I can control it alot better because if I start trying to draw the ball im afraid the ever dreaded hook will start coming out. I used to battle the hooks, not any more though.

I need an option for both. Not because I am wildly inconsistent. I tend to draw my irons and fade my driver and 3 wood. I can do both with my hybrid but usually play that for a straight shot. I'm confusing myself.

That's 90% of my drives if I try and muscle up.

I usually can manage a slight draw with my 3 and 4 hybrids off the tee as long as i dont sky the shot. It's the best feeling in the world when a noticeable draw happens with my hybrids. For now though, a fade off the tee for sure.

    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
