The stat I read is that the ball starts, at least 85%, in the direction of the club face, so this makes Bob and Jimboo as correct as you need to be.

Out of interest what other shots do you hit either with your driver or other golf clubs?

Spot on, you've not paid attention to the NEW BALL FLIGHT LAWS have you Gordon?
It about swing path relative to face angle, angle of attack also has a part to play.

You are kinda right there Gordon. :thup:
The balls initial flight will be in the direction the clubface is pointing.
To create draw spin the swingpath has to be right of the clubface direction.
To create a push draw you need the clubface slightly open and the swingpath slightly more right.
If the clubface is slightly shut at impact and the swingpath is square to target you will get a pull draw.
And so on and so forth.

these things all hold true... as long as you are hitting slap bang in the middle of the face. toe and heel hits kick in gear effect.

No-one said anything about that ????
You said
You cannot make that assumption. The swing path could be straight or even out to in and the ball could still start to the right if the clubface is pointing to the right.
Then based on that incorrect assumption that he is swinging in to out you said
While that may be true if he was swinging in to out, you cannot give that advice unless you know for certain he is swinging in to out.
If you give that advice to someone who is swing out to in, they wouldn't stand a chance of hitting a draw.
If you still don't believe the new ball flight laws, look them up.

Kick a football normally and it goes straight.
Kick across the ball and it starts in the direction you aimed it and swerves after a while due to the side spin you've put on it.
Think about how Beckham used to take a freekick, he didn't change his foot to ball impact angle as such it was more his angle of attack which caused so much bend.

Slightly different surely. The football will slde spin whereas a golf ball only backspins, it's the axis that tilts to create side ways movement. Unless I'm wrong as usual!

So a football can side spin but a golf ball can only backspin on different axes?

Why is a football different?
