A player came to me hitting it straight... and about 40 yards shorter.

He'd found a way to cancel out his toe-hook, but the fix was costing him big time. Here's how the wrong impact combination can fool you.

Golfer - I love the confidence of shaping it. I love sending it out in one direction and KNOWING it's going to curve one way. Eliminating one side.

Me - what shape do you play into this hole?

Golfer - draw obviously

Me - but if you knew it was going to curve one way, wouldn't you want to know that it curves AWAY from the danger? Eliminate that side?

Golfer - 😕

Amateur golfer with a 20 yard standard deviation left to right (drives).

Out of bounds left
25 yards wide fairway
No danger right

Aiming down the middle of the fairway scores them 5.00 (par 4)

My buddy with his one way miss (left) vs me with my 2-way miss (right).

Face and path standard deviations around your desired target are more important.

@RodDandyGolf Sure. I have ways of working it out without a launch monitor.

@LouStagner He even shapes it the same way every time, whereas I have more of a two-way curve.

it's almost as if dispersion matters more

[Adam Young Golf @adamyounggolf]

I have a 20 handicap golf buddy.

He’s managed to eliminate one side of the golf course with his chronic slice.

He’s a 20 handicap.

[Adam Young Golf @adamyounggolf]

In this scenario, the tour pro accuracy won.

But there are plenty of other scenarios to test.

Here's what happens if we keep dispersion the same (scaled out), but add on tour-pro distance (+60 yards)

Score of 4.92 - improving by 0.22 strokes.

@golfprogress @tangent Play me on the greens.

[Adam Young Golf @adamyounggolf]

My stats from @tangent.

My neutral path really hurts my accuracy and results in a two-way miss. Whatever will I do?

I guess time to start slinging them into the fairway 😉

[Adam Young Golf @adamyounggolf]

Sure. But that’s effectively more of a two way miss. You’re aiming in a way to produce that.

It’s no better than the person who aims straight down the fairway and misses both sides/ways, given that dispersions are equal.

The post is addressing those who think that one-way miss is better than a two-way miss with a similar/tighter dispersion aimed properly

[Adam Young Golf @adamyounggolf]

@msilverthorn2 Then the one-way miss guy becomes a two-was miss guy

Aiming at middle (left) versus aiming at right rough (right) breakdown.

Interestingly, lower fairways hit, but better scoring.
