Re: To Draw Or Not To Draw?

Big Sheesh,

It has already been said that this draw vs fade will go on and on.

You are certainly not a better player because you draw the ball, I am not sure what the stats are but I would hazard a guess that it is 50/50 on both tours.

Because of the increadible distances now hit on tour alot of top players are trying to bring the fade into their game for control because the distance is already there with technology. When many years ago players converted to the draw for distance.

The two guys I play with every week off 2 & 4 both play with a fade, only I play with a draw and always have.

My closing comments would be stick with what is natural for you and work on that first and foremost, you can learn to play the opposite later for thoses doglegs.

Don't try to change something what isn't broken........Monty won the European Tour 8 times with a fade !!


Hope this helps.


Ian.
