It would be fair to say that most, if not all, club golfers would love to be able to draw the ball consistently.

This would be especially true with the driver as there is no doubt the right-to-left flight (for right handers) of the draw maximises distance in comparison to the left to right shape of a fade or slice. So why does hitting a draw allude so many mid-high handicappers? Especially when technology, such as launch monitors, which calculate everything about what the club and ball are doing when struck, has shown us in great detail what it takes to hit the ball with this shape.

The reason is quite simple, most amateur club players do not set up to the ball anywhere near good enough or consistently enough to hit a true draw shot. As a consequence the direction and consistency of the swing makes it impossible to achieve this flight.

There are many factors that will affect the draw shot. If you stand too close or too far away or don’t hold the club correctly, if your posture is poor, if your weight distribution isn’t good, if your ball position is out and your stance width is irregular and out of proportion or if your aim and alignment are poor. One or a combination of these, not to mention a multitude of other elements can and will have an affect on the movement of the body and in turn the club itself, which will mean that no matter how hard you practice, how many videos you watch or how many articles you read a draw will be hard to hit repeatedly or correctly. A visit to your PGA Professional will confirm how good your set up is and the limitations it is putting on your swing.

They will then help you implement the correct adjustments in order to give you a fighting chance of hitting what is probably the most desirable shot in golf. Contact the Pro Shop now to book your lesson.
