Illustrated Golf Lesson on Drawing the Ball
I hope this finds you well, excited for the upcoming season, and ready to score lower than ever before. I wanted to catch up with you, and explain what we've been doing lately.
First off, let's be clear about what this post is all about -developing a draw will add distance to your golf shots, and consistency to your swing. I'm willing to bet that after you master this shot, you'll be playing golf like never before. Ready for the good news? We've been hard at work putting together an easy way for you to draw the ball - almost instantly (assuming you practice and understand the technique)!
There's a reason why almost all professional tour players hit draws instead of fades or slices. But before I get into that, I need to take a step back to make sure that you understand exactly what adraw is, what it can do for you, and finally I'm going to give you some tips on how to actually hit one.
Basically, a draw is a golf shot that gently moves from right to left (for a right hander). You know the shot. It's the one that feels like you hit nothing at all, but you look up and the ball is sailing neatly down the fairway gently moving from right to left. It's not a hook because the movement on a hook is much more severe than a draw.
A draw puts "good spin" on the ball vs. a slice that puts "bad spin" on the ball. "Good Spin" propels the ball much further because it makes the ball cut through wind, and it rolls further once the ball hits the fairway. This all happens because of the top spin imparted on the ball when hitting a draw, vs. side-spin imparted on the ball when hitting a fade or a slice.
Put quite simply, you can hit a draw by learning to swing on an inside to out swing path (there's more to it obviously). Eventhough this sounds easy to complete, without the correct training, the majority of golfers really struggle with it.
The problem is that most golfers have been swinging the club for years in a way that produces a slice- so initially, we're fighting very deeply ingrained habits. But we've got ways to get you out of those habits. The bigger problem is that the swing that typically produces a slice feels very natural for most golfers. That's why slicing is the most prevalent problem that golfers face.
But - through the techniques that you're about to learn, and you feel the swing changes taking place, and you see the positive results, you're going to start developing a whole new set of positive habits. The ones that will bring your swing path from the inside, and will enable you to make solid impact with the ball on a very consistent basis.
What we teach in this system will be revolutionary for your overall golf swing. We're going to correct some basic parts of your swing, (the ones that most frequently produce a slice) and we're going to teach you some great moves to start coming into the impact zone from the inside path - so you hit it further.
One of the neat things about this system is that it will also help if you hook the ball. We've focused so closely on the movements in your swing that produce a draw, you'll be able to recognize those areas as parts of your swing that you may be over compensating on, which in turn would be causing you to hook. There are a few other reasons this could be happening of course, but if you are making all of the moves correctly that we're going to teach you - the result will be a nice gentle draw. No more hooks or slices!
Some of you may have heard that you can learn to work the ball from right to left and left to right by simply changing your stance or altering your grip. However, we believe that getting your shot to draw consistently is really about the golf swing as a whole.
Through this course, you are actually going to be making many positive changes to your full swing. Again, popular belief is that a draw mostly relates to your driver, but we believe this shot should actually be learned with your 5 iron. We want to be clear: The changes that you will be making to your full swing, will be very beneficial for every club that you carry. It's all about making impact with the ball from an inside path.
