the last few nights the guys have been talking more about shot shaping and being more creative and it got me thinking how many of us can actually play any shape of shot that we want,and actually make a point of doing it.
bubba watson loves to shape his shots,even when he doesn't need to.a wedge shot from 120-130 yrds and he'll be playing a huge fade,also phil mickelson holed out last night with a big hooking wedge shot.
i played 9 holes today and gave it a bash,i can play any shape shot but rarely do it unless i need to.but today i tried doing it more and with the strong winds it was quite fun.i don't think i'll be doing it in competition for the sake of it,i'll leave it for when i really have to.
shots i were trying today was just the big cut shot,even with my 56* from a 100 yrds and it was working well,trying to hit the 2 iron off the deck as low as i could(this will be handy when its windy) and the other one i play is the big hooking long iron shot when i'm trying to power it in from well out.this works well aswell.
what was strange was trying to play the fade with the driver,it was working but it just felt wrong.but when it works the confidence levels go up but when it goes wrong it looks bad,double crossing it is what gets me sometimes.
