Default Re: hitting the ball straight

[ QUOTE ]
IT's very very very very very rare for someone to hit shots perfectly straight...it's just not how the swing really works. It's more likely to have a very slight fade or draw, and it's possible to build a swing to produce either as its 'normal' shot...but it's very rare for someone to have a 'straight' shot as normal. The standard for good players is a 5-7yd draw or fade.

I don't get this. My shots are either straight or a slight fade. Does this mean my straight shots are accidental? Because with irons I play for a straight shot...and when playing well I often hit it straight. With the driver a slight fade is common. When I hit the driver straight it is usually a slight pull that ends up down the left.
