Well I told you I would do this tomorrow, but since I am thinking about it.... For years I played hand me down clubs, blades specificly. I played about once every two weeks at about an 18 handicap, always been a fairly long hitter, and use to play a small slice. However about 4 years ago I upgraded to cavity backed irons, started playing a little more often and dropped to an 11 handicap. My ball flight when switching went from the old slice to straight upon switching and has now turned in to a draw. My misses with the blades were big slices and my misses with the cavities now are big pulls.
So with that being said, how much of todays equipment can be accountable for ball flight. I had a pro tell me a couple years back that my hook was do to the difference of my clubs being more offset than the old blades I was using. Everytime I demo a hybrid that is offset all I can do is pull hook them. If I try one that isn't offset I can hit "forced" fades, where I couldn't with the offset ones. Am I crazy here or does my self-analysis hold any truth?
