[QUOTE="gohornedfrogs, post: 3001454, member: 3599"] This is a common misperception that since the ball doesn’t spin as much, they don’t shape it as much. Players are actually more willing to move the ball opposite of their natural shape today than in the past. Why? Because it doesn’t spin as much, there’s less danger of over-shaping it and losing the shot way right or left. You can swing more aggressively with less fear of a horrible outcome. The difference now is just that the fade or draw is less pronounced. Anybody who played 10+ years with balata will remember how badly a fade would just balloon up to the right and fall 15 yards short if you didn’t execute it perfectly. That same shot ends up on the green more often than not with today’s balls. [/QUOTE]
