    We can draw or fade drivers and 3 woods off the tee. Click the mouse in the darker blue section short of the center for draw and after the center section for a fade. There was a thread about it here a couple of months ago with a screen shot showing where to click. To get it just right it has to be in the center of the darker blue section.

    * Edit*

    I made a simple example in my next post. On the 4th hole at Olympic I click on the draw line to keep it in the fairway. At the 10th hole at Olympic, I click on the fade line to bend it around the corner and avoid the trees on the right. It does bend in the air not just straight left or right. Setting the aiming line is the key. It takes practice.

    These two I fear - happy as "easy" as it is.

    I could not agree more, I've been playing for about two weeks and find it kind of boring not being able to shape your shots. I've been playing links for years and you can shape the ball. I sent a message in to WGT regarding this issue and never received a response.

     

    A fun game non the less.

    I think your disappointment stems from the part of your statement where you say you've "been playing for about two weeks."  The starter clubs will NOT allow you to shape shots.  They are to get you acquainted with the game and give you the best chance at learning the meter system without the distraction of draw and slice.  As you level up and purchase new clubs, you will see that some clubs give you shot shaping options that are superior to others.  You can DEFINITELY shape shots in WGT.  You may not be able to fire a snap hook or banana slice, but you can draw and fade to some degree (depending on the club and wind conditions).

    I will often draw or fade a shot into the wind to help hold it's line, or as some others have indicated used shot shaping with the wind to bend around a corner or other obstacle in my way.  Using backspin on your drive will hold the ball in the air longer and allow your shot shaping to have greater effect.  Putting topspin on the ball minimizes the effect of shaping or wind.

    Hope that helps.
