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’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

    • Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.
    • If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there. 
    • This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
