This is something I first heard of when reading Haneys book about Tiger and how he had all 9 and hit all 9 on the range before every round a few years back and had forgotten all about until yesterday. Was sat listening to a podcast whilst eating dinner at the hotel and Simon Dyson was talking about how Pete Cowan says that if you can consistently hit all 9 of them then your already at an advantage over everyone else. He went on to say that even most tour players don't have the 9 shots...
Seeing as I was bored I wandered over the the range next to hotel and gave it a go, where I experienced some range Knobs saying I couldn't hit a straight shot etc but even though that was an irritation it made me think does everyone even know about these hallowed 9 shots and can we actually hit them..
The premise I belive is that you can hit all 9 shots with every club in the bag, thus making you a true worker of the ball.
So what are they:
1. High Straight
2. Mid Straight
3. Low straight
4. High Fade
5. Mid fade
6. Low fade
7. High draw
8. Mid draw
9. Low draw
I can categorically say having tried it last night I do NOT have all 9 shots on demand with every club in my bag.
I'm going to keep working on it as found it good fun and may help to find a go to shot for those days where the game is a struggle.
So do you know about them and do you have them.....
