It was a drill to help me learn to flip my wrists more. I never used to do that before our first lesson and I still have a tendency to not close the club face on my bad shots. He said that when I don't hit the ball straight, he'd rather I draw/pull then slice.

We just got to talking about that theory since I was interested in what he was saying. He wasn't trying to have me do that on all shots on the golf course.

When trying to hit it straight, when I would miss, I would fade/slice sometimes and draw/hook others. When I was trying to draw and I would miss, I would hit it straight or hook. I can see his logic that at least when I miss, I know which way I will most likely miss. It's something that I will consider doing once I am able to strike the ball more consistently.

Same thing for me. Whenever I try to hit it straight, my misses can be all over the place. When I try to hit a draw, my miss will be either straight, which is usually not far from off target or a hook. Learning how to control your misses is the key--something I am still working on.
