Default Hook,Draw,Slice,Fade What is your natural swing path?
I think it would be an interesting topic to see what flight pattern our THP golfers have? Meaning which way are you most comfortable shaping your golf shots?

When I first started playing golf, many moons ago, it was a cold cut slice . Shortly afterwards, a draw or right to left shot became my favorite and most comfortable flight pattern. Not born a hooker but been one most of my life

Used to play a slice, like most, when i started out. Then for about 1/2 a season i played a fade. Now and ever since, a baby draw or dead straight shot works out nicely.

Fought a wicked slice as a kid. Tapered it into a nice high fade. I hit it a long way when I was young, not so much now, and have a much lower ball flight. Still prefer to fade/cut it, but some days it goes the other way. I can draw the ball if I need to, but there's more margin for error.

I'm going to say fade, it will sometimes become a slice. (Usually at the worst possible time) If I try and play a draw it will more times than not be a snap hook.

My big problem last year was that I hit it straight. Left.

No doubt. But when I aimed way right, then the double cross came into play!

It got better after Andy gave me some tips but I still fought it off and on the whole season.

Mostly a fade, but often over cook it into a hook.

Usually high, with a very slight draw. But lately I have been hitting them all. Draws, fades, slices, hooks, pushes, pulls, thin, and fatties. I am not hitting very many hooks, or slices, but there has been a few. My set up, alignment, posture and ball position are all less than acceptable right now. When those parts of my swing go wrong, my grip tends to change, which in turn gives me the different ball flights with different clubs. I need to put in some range work on all of those issues. Sort of take a step back, and smell the roses so to speak.

Lol, I have no idea why, but all day today I've typed the opposite of what I meant. I have a draw traditionally and over cook that fairly often which is a horrible problem on the course I play. Lots of OB left.

Hope those e6's help for that too, hehe

it's all good due, your brain's just in an "ugh" mood. happens to me all the time, especially in front of customers.

I'm sure that the E6 can't hurt your cause but inevitably it's hard for anything to stop a snap hook.

I used to fight a slice, now I've developed a very slight fade to straight flight. Every so often, I unintentionally hit a slight draw. I believe it's from inproper setup at the ball, sort of what amollerud says to do to shape a shot in his THP video, just not on purpose

When I figure it out I'll let you know.

I go to bed praying that I find a consistent flight, sometimes I think I'd take a bad hook or slice if it was only consistent.

On any given day, I could snap hook driver one hole, hit a few decent drives with a tiny draw (what I'd like to do), then next put it a full fairway right with a push/slice. Irons are a little more consistent, usually a little pull/draw...but I'll push them out to the right on occasion. Very frustrating when I get a few consistent shots, start to setup for that shot, then double cross myself into trouble.

Played with an older guy this summer that had an ugly looking low slice off the tee, but that shot was deadly consistent to 220yds every time. He'd setup on right side of the box, aim far left side of the fairway, and just work it back into the fairway.

If I swing how I am supposed to, the ball goes straight. Maybe a slight draw, but not much. I can go right-to-left or left-to-right if needed, but right-to-left is easier for me. Unless moving the ball has a ton of extra benefit, I will play for a straight shot.
