There are many benefits to shaping your shots, so if you want to provide some serious competition on the course, then it’s a technique that is worth learning.
For example, on a dogleg left hole, using a draw shot technique will allow you to get much closer to the pin than you usually would, and that’s all thanks to being able to bend your ball slightly around the curve.
Even if you end up hitting it straight by accident, it still wouldn’t be a bad first shot. Using fades and draws is also a great way of dodging hazards too!
