Ball Flight, what are you looking for?

I'd like to be able to do a bit of both, I can't do either on command really so I just try to hit it straight.

Ideally, I think I'd like to play a fade with my irons/wedges and a draw with woods and hybrids.

Iirc a fade promotes a softer landing so hitting onto the green with a faded iron wedge wold be nice, where a draw helps with distance so off the tee and second shots on long holes that would be nice.

Of course I could be wrong, and I can't do it anyways, so I just want to hit it straight.

The power fade all day baby
 
My natural shot used to be a fade, however it's now a draw. Between the 2, I'd rather my natural shot was a fade, far more accurate and controllable.

This is exactly what happened to me over the last year. It was so confusing because I had never snap hooked or even drew anything ever in the game until last year.

I used to hit a natural draw. I enjoyed it. Then I started hitting a power fade. I enjoyed that. Now I hit a slice. Not cool.
 
Well my fitter told me not many people can play a controlled fade effectively, so I prefer the high draw

Been there and done that. As Travino would say, " You can talk to a fade but a draw won't listen." It's much easier to play a fade on a bad day than a draw.

Usually a little draw or just straight. Lately though (going through lessons) it's been a fade with the driver and a draw with everything else. 3 wood is the wild card at the moment. Would like to get everything to the same shape, but would be happy if I could just get everything consistent.
