    Arrgggggg The golf gods are cruel

    Last year I could draw the ball just thinking about it. Today I hit 150 pw shots. All high and either straight or a cut. I was trying to draw them and the closest thing I could get was a dead pull.

    What concerns be is a high cut pw may = a fade or slice as I step into longer irons and woods.


    Just when I think my game is on track stuff happens.

    I'm going to keep trying the draw. I find better golf balls OB. left.B-)
    R5TP 10.5* UST V2 Reg
    or
    G2 10*BB Solutions (purple) shaft Reg

    Reid Lockhart dual bounce wedges 52,56,60 Rifle spinner shafts 4.5
    Scotty Circa 62 #6

    Jack Nicklaus made a pretty good living hitting a fade. So did Lee Trevino and a host of others.

    Good luck anyway. I'm happy that I've been able to get to get my swing to a fairly consistent and neutral ball flight. If I have to I can turn it either direction but I really prefer to hit it straight with just an inkling of fade at the tail end.

    When that happens to me, my teaching pro makes me try and hit hooks on the range (one after the other). I gets me hitting inside to out again with the wrists rolling over. Once that happens, my natural draw comes back - naturally.

    Did you check the wind? lol I'm not trying to be smart-ass. I've done that before, hit a few balls and couldn't figure out why they were all goin right, then realized the wind was blowing fairly hard but I couldn't tell because some trees blocking it off me.
