Double Cross

A golf shot that curves in the opposite direction from the intended shot shape, typically occurring when golfers attempt to hit a draw but produce a fade, or vice versa, often resulting in significant accuracy problems and strategic disadvantages. Double cross shots usually stem from swing timing issues, setup problems, or mental confusion about shot execution. Understanding double cross causes helps golfers develop more reliable shot patterns and avoid costly misses. This shot pattern often occurs under pressure when golfers overthink their swing mechanics or try to over-control ball flight. Preventing double crosses requires consistent swing fundamentals and clear shot visualization.
