Just got a lesson........on video. I was breaking down on my right leg...poor weight transfer which caused me to hit behind on my irons...ugly....fixed it...so now I am drawing my irons....bombing away on the driver.

Weaknesses: Approach shots....G.I.R....anemically low....decent chipper.

Looking forward to your input.

Did you always draw your irons before? If not, just give it time. It's hard to force yourself to aim right if you've been hitting fades for a long time. If your low GIR is caused by distance control problems, do one of two thing: Spend 3 years in a secluded weight room in Siberia, come back looking like Schwartze******, and just drive every green and avoid "girly man" iron shots altogether; Or, spend some time with your irons on the range; get to know them a little better.

If your distance is fine but you still can't hit greens, consider hitting fades into the green. Intentional draws turn in to hooks easier than fades turn into slices.

If you like playing the Nike One's, keep playing them. They sound like the right thing for you.

Good luck!
