Hey, Big...

This argument about the Draw vs the Slice will run and run. Basically there is no 'correct' shape. Better players just happen to draw the ball because of the path of their swing. A good players destructive shot is always the hook. A straight shot is the hardest to do since it requires your swing path and club face to be perfectly true and very few people can do that.

Jack Nicklaus is actually a bit of an anomaly since he claims his natural shot was the fade and only learnt to really draw the ball to order some years into his career.

As far as the majority of pro's go most of them would say a draw is their shot but they can all play pretty much every shot anyway so it doesnt matter. For club players most lower handicappers (single figure down to plus numbers) play with a draw. In an ideal world you would draw your driver and fade your irons the draw giving better distance and the fade better control.
