Natural shot shape

[patricks148]

My natural shot shape is a draw, wedges, irons, woods and hybrid....2 years ago I started to hit blocks with the driver.. Sorted this out, but not hit a draw with the driver in that time.....no matter what,slight fade,big fade or straight, no matter what...... Until today, drew every tee shot, did nothing different to the last time I played...or the time before that. My 3 playing partners were also confused???

Odd shaped balls?

Probably hitting them toe side of centre. Bulge and roll effect.

 

[patricks148]

Dont think so, I hit it out the toe most of the time and its not done that before

 

[ruff-driver]

According to my recent trackman testing i should draw everything!

Nope, pretty straight normally , go figure.

gear effect off the toe

Bulge and roll effect.

I use this when out clubbing 😜

When you started blocking the driver how did you fix it

 

[Face breaker]

Anything from the slightest of fades to a massive slice (usually driver/3-wood) on the rarest of occasions I'll get a draw but that'll be once maybe twice a round tops...

Ps, I'll get a draw more often when I use stiff shafts funnily enough...

Started off drawing, then faded for a while, then back to draw.

Scored by best rounds in the fading phase but played my best golf when drawing.

Don't think I have a natural shape. Is more a combination of my game an life at the time, lessons and amount of Golf I play

If you draw everything else then the draw with the driver isn't the weird thing. Its the constant fades you 'were' hitting.

used to hit from the inside, so when it's working ts a big draw, but when it goes wrong....boy.

A more natural swing path... Straight back and though.... Always stuggledto hit a fade...

Tell me about it. But it has given me a new prospective on how to play the course

does your driver start left (if right handed ) or straight and then fade?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Usually a fade but my problems come when I start double crossing myself and then hit the big lefts. Basically I'm just rubbish

 

[Alex1975]

Any chance you changed your tee height or ball position?

 

[patricks148]

Straight, with the draw had to aim well right

 

[USER1999]

Pretty straight with a driver, draw every thing else. Or, big slappy fade with a driver, and flat hook every thing else. Depends on the day.

Aim well right thats the time I hit the straight one

Do you think when you were hitting the fades you could have been catching it more towards the heel?

No def not out the heel.

Normal service resumed today, not a single draw with the driver
