Ball flight for a draw/fade

[curtisj76]

Ok, elementary question but some of us are still in Golf 1st grade.

For a draw, does the initial flight start straight and then curve. Or does it start right and then curve.

Same for a fade but opposite.

Thanks

(hope that made sense)

different ball flights.

pull hook - starts left and draws more
pull - starts left and stays straight
pull fade - starts left and fades back towards target
pull slice - starts left and slices off right of target
straight shot - starts straight and stays straight
push hook - starts right and hooks left of target
push draw - starts right and draws back towards target
push - starts right and stays straight
push slice - starts right and fades more

Those are Dplane ball flights? Just making sure.

Another question, I assume the "push draw" is what we normally just call "draw". Same with fade (only pull). Thanks

all these are relative to the target line. i.e a push draw starts to the right of the target and draws back to the target

Assuming center contact, every draw starts left of your path and every fade starts right of your path. The "push" draw and "pull" fade stuff is relative to the target line.
