A Guide To Hitting A Draw In Golf

By Sandy Rutherforde


Hitting a draw in the sport of golf happens when your ball flies from right to left, keeping away from obstacles which are in the way. To be able to go about hitting a draw you must visualize the ball flight that you will need. After you have determined a flight path, you will have a target. This means that you will have to alter your body alignment and posture based on your target.

When you are hitting a draw you will have to get an anticlockwise spin on your ball. In order to achieve this objective you'll need to make contact with the ball using a closed club face. The most effective club that you could use for this particular move is a six or seven iron because the loft is going to be reduced.

Whenever you are ready to swing, you will really need to have a solid grip on your club. Both your hands should be placed clockwise on the club. The thumbs must be right of the center line. When you look down at your hands and club, you'll be able to observe more of the back of the left hand and considerably less of the back of your right hand than you normally see. Remember that the club face has to be closed and you should position the ball towards the middle of your position. Ideally the feet and body will point towards the right. The ball will land with an overspin that will result in a lot more run. You will need to allow for this.

While you are attempting to make this move, make sure you try and make your backswing a lot more rounded to ensure that it will travel on an inside curve. Ideally the hands and forearms will rotate through the impact. This particular swing will have to be smooth and unhurried. At the time of impact the club face will need to be a bit closed in order to hit a draw.

Because the draw is actually a "feel" shot, it's not simple. You have to be practical and just attempt to make shots you feel assured about. Just like everything in life, practice makes perfect in terms of the draw shot.

The ideal place to practice this particular shot is at the driving range. If you are having difficulty making the shot after significant practice you may wish to think about getting one or two individual lessons. Sometimes it is less difficult to have another person point out what you're doing wrong in order that it is possible to correct it. In order to make this shot you will need to have patience and practice regularly.
