The old argument of whether to play a draw or a fade in golf has historically been won by those in the "draw" camp. Not sure why but I suspect because it gets more distance. It may also be because over ninety percent of golfers have an uncontrollable slice and would love to hit a draw.
whatever the reason a draw or a fade are both great "bread and butter" shots to have. Even better is to play either as the situation calls for it.
So which is better a draw or a fade? As I am one of those that favor a draw I shall just argue the pros and cons of each.
Before I do I think I need to let my readers know the characteristics of a fade and a draw. Do not mistake these two ball flights with a slice or a hook.
The descriptions that follow are for right-handed golfers. For left-handed golfers the ball merely goes the other way but everything else remains the same.
The Draw:
The Fade:
Which shot is the better shot to play is entirely personal.
The trade-off for a draw with the greater distance is the ability to control the stopping distance.
With a fade you won't get the distance but you will know you can stop the ball quickly.
Maybe a combination of the two is the way to go: Play the draw off the tee and on the longer fairway shots but use the fade for the approach shots.
If a draw is your stock shot learn to play the fade and conversely if a fade is your bread and butter shot try to master the draw for that extra distance.
Of course you may well be one of the ninety percent that is simply struggling for any consistency at all in which case you need to look at your overall swing and get it grooved before you try working the ball around the course.
Great game isn't it?
