power fade. Being able to hit a lower draw when needed is nice, but if you can be consistent with what comes natural, that's great too.

Also, I've never actually had lessons from a pro. I'm self taught and had some help from friends and a golf coach in HS. In general, it seems like a couple of lessons from a pro do help a lot though. I had a friend (roughly same handicap as me) recently take a couple of lessons from a pro and he's hitting more solid than he has in years. I guess take that for what it's worth.
