Draw & Fade

  OK WGT.  I have seen this subject posted before.  So here is the challenge :  When deliberately missing the bell to the left, U get a Snap Hook>  When doing so to the right U get a snap slice.  A real  golf ball does not come off the club face on either type  of hit and dart immediately to the side.  Soo how about getting your programmers, to make is so that the ball takes off on the target line then turns?  i.e fade and draw -v -hook and slice!?

   

  Or easier yet, as has been suggested before, allow movement of the impact dot to move left and right is in backspin-topspin.

   

  Thank U

  The trick to avoiding the snap hook/slice when deliberately missing the ding is to aim the other way.

  

  Click HERE for larger image and click the PICTURE for the replay.

  A.   Missing the ding by this much (1) will take the ball off to the right, as you say, a snap slice. Trajectory 2.

  B.   To get the ball to fly straight to start with, trajectory (3), and then to curve right in flight, you need to aim left (4)

  WGT have said that they hope to introduce a true draw and fade one day.

  WGTAdmins last post said they have done it and tested it but it threw everything out of whack so they canned it...

  ...and to be perfectly clear, as Scott and other WGT experts and WGT employees have said, you can not draw/fade (with a curved ball flight) your irons shots.

  You can draw and fade your DRIVER shots, and another person has said that after a lot of testing you may get a draw and fade slightly on a wood.

  I still am offering a sleeve to the delusional person who claims they can draw and fade, w/ a curved ball flight, an iron shot. 

  The challenge of WGT is to make do w/ what you have w/o that programmed feature; using different types of spin, shot types, special wedges, etc.
