The article contradicts itself. Although Jack could play any golf shot imaginable, he highly favored a cut. Now called a power fade. (In my opinion it was a high, long, powerful slice.) He still favors this type of trajectory even today. But again, Jack could work the ball. The best example of this is the 1972 US open where he was forced by the wind to hit a big draw with a 1 iron on the 17th tee at Pebble Beach. By the way, that shot was not by design, Jack admitted that the wind closed the club face more than he intended and he was forced to make a split second adjustment at impact. The result, of course, was remarkable.
