Cut Shot

A shot in which the ball's flight path is curved — left to right for a right-handed golfer, the reverse for a lefty. A cut shot is often employed when the best course to the hole is not a straight course, such as when a hazard is in the way or a tree line encroaches to the side. The golfer controls the curve or fade of the ball through his swing path and stance, (Franz, Helium).

A cut shot will also diminish the amount of roll on the ball when it lands on the green because the ball comes in at a sharper angle.
