Those that are playing with soft draw. How much right to left do you have? For example, driver and say an 8 iron. I'm just curious as to how much "straightening" I have to do. Thanks

5-6 yards would be my opinion....it may "look like less" when done properly but that's because of your view and how far you are from target

Either way, I've got work to do. On a par 3 I can send an 8 iron 20 yards.

Sounds like you are playing like bubba watson. Shouldn't the draw be about 1 or 2 yards if you are aiming about one yard right of target(aim feet is one yard, the distance from feet to ball position is the other yard)?

Your naked eye really can't see a 1 yard draw, remember that the farther away from an object the narrower it will look, same thing happens with ball flight. That soft draw may only look like 1 or 2 yards but you can't really see 3-6 feet in the air at 100+ yards very discernable, it's a little more curvature than that.

For me, I aim roughly the amount that I intend to let the club cross the line.
The SD pattern (for me) only works if the club crosses the line at the top.
Anyone else noticed this?
