How come i can't hit anything but straightr now?

[Jim Kobylinski]

Not sure why but my normal shot is just dead straight now with the occasional misses either way which is only the result of a poor setup and mental concentration.

I used to have a wonderful little fade i could hit under pressure or even just working around dog-legs and whenever i try to do it now it just still goes straight even though i open my plane line.

It isn't that i don't like the straight ball but i would like to get the fade back

help?

Aim MORE left and make sure it doesn't go there by keeping the feel of the sweetspot slightly under the back of the shaft through impact.

...or...just keep hittin' it striaght down MAIN STREET!

Jim Thorpe in "playing Lessons from the Pros" complained about the same thing. How he had always worked the ball but the new golf balls only fly staight. To hit a fade he had to open the stance quite a bit.

You can still curve it.

But it is harder.
