A Guide To Hitting A Draw In Golf

By Sandy Rutherforde


Hitting a draw in the sport of golf is when your ball flies from right to left, avoiding obstacles that are in the way. In order to attempt hitting a draw you should visualize the ball flight that you require. Once you have decided on a flight path, you will have a target. This will mean that you will have to alter your body alignment and posture based on the target.

When you are hitting a draw you will have to obtain an anticlockwise spin on the ball. In order to achieve this goal you'll need to make contact with a closed club face. The perfect club that you could use for this move is actually a six or seven iron because the loft is going to be lessened.

Whenever you are prepared to swing, you'll have to have a good grip on your club. Both your hands need to be placed clockwise on your club. The thumbs should be right of the center line. If you look down at your hands and club, you'll be able to notice much more of the back of your left hand and less of the back of your right hand than you typically see. Take into account that the club face will need to be closed and you really should place the ball near the middle of your position. Ideally the feet and body will point towards the right. The ball will land with an overspin that will cause a lot more run. You will need to allow for this.

While you are trying to make this move, you must try and make your backswing more rounded to ensure that it will travel on an inside curve. Preferably your hands and forearms will rotate through the impact. This particular swing will have to be smooth and unhurried. At the point of impact the club face will need to be somewhat closed to be able to hit a draw.

As the draw is actually a "feel" shot, it's not at all simple. You have to be realistic and just attempt to make shots that you feel assured about. Just like everything in life, practice makes perfect when it comes to the draw shot.

The ideal place to practice this particular shot is at the driving range. In case you are having problems making the shot following significant practice you may need to give some thought to getting one or two private lessons. Oftentimes it really is a lot easier to have someone point out what you are doing wrong in order that it is possible to fix it. To be able to make this shot you'll need to have patience and practice regularly.
