The Truth About Shot Shaping: Why Curving the Ball Isn’t Always Better
Play Episode
Episode Notes
Everyone talks about hitting fades and draws… but should you actually be shaping the ball both ways? In this episode, we explore the real tradeoffs of intentional shot shaping versus playing more neutral - including how it affects dispersion, confidence, and your ability to manage the course. We also break down why most golfers misunderstand “two-way misses,” and how face control (not curve) is what really separates the best players. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re overcomplicating your shot shapes, this one’s for you.
