I understand the premise behind it and it makes perfect sense as I've always heard it in the past. If you know what your ball is doing when you hit it, there are no surprises and you can plan for any shot. I often wonder that if you're good enough to do one or the other, why not just hit it straight? If you always draw the ball, you can aim a little right and bring it back. If you always hit is straight, why not just aim in the middle to begin with? You can eliminate all the hazards if you hit it straight all the time. If you try to do one or the other to eliminate mistakes on one side, can't you make the same mistakes (missing one way or the other) no matter what you do? I think more important is the ability to move the ball either way or hit it straight when you need to.
