Draw Lesson 2

Hopefully you were able to get out and practice that last lesson. If not, please do so when you get a chance, because it's a greatfundamental that will have a positive impact on your swing path,which in turn will encourage a draw.

Today we want to discuss some specifics on why you want the ballflight that a draw produces.

Benefits of the Draw Ball Flight:

-A draw goes further (both in the air and on the roll) because ofright-to-left spin. As we discussed in the last lesson, enteringthe impact zone on the inside path which produces this spin.

-Chances of hitting the fairway increase - Imagine for a moment,standing on the first tee, with a wide open fairway to hit. You'reaiming directly down the middle like most golfers do). The majorproblem with this is that by aiming down the middle of the fairwayyou have left yourself only with a very small amount of room forerror. Let me explain - You aim down the middle, and you fade theball slightly. Chances are, you're in the rough, right? The samething happens if you pull the ball left. Our goal with creatingthis system is to have you hit the longest, most consistent shotpossible. Once you can draw the ball (and you will be able to drawit every time), you can start aiming down the right side of thefairway. Now, you have some more room to work with. Hit the ballstraight, and you're on the right side of the fairway. If you hitthe ball with a draw, you're in the middle or left side of thefairway. Now you have the whole fairway to work with! You'rereally going to increase the percentage of fairways you hit, andthat will translate into lower scores, guaranteed. And I know whatyou're thinking... What if I slice it? Well, you'll just have totrust us on that one. Once we can get you to make impact with theball, with your swing on the correct path, you won't be slicing theball.

-Lower Trajectory Shot - typically draws have a bit less loft onthem, so you're going to be hitting the ball with a little lessloft, which is great because your ball will be effected less bywind. This happens because you will be learning how to close yourclubface the correct way. First you should understand that byopening the clubface at impact you are effectively adding loft tothe clubface. An open clubface at impact (bad), adds loft to theclub, decreases distance (just like a 7 iron doesn't go as far as a5 iron - because of the extra loft), and causes the ball to driftright. A closing clubface at impact (correct), will give you thecorrect loft that the club should have, it will increase yourdistance (because the club has the correct amount of loft atimpact), and it will cause the ball to drift left. So the spin,in conjunction with less loft on the club, is what produces thatboring shot like the pros hit.

Benefits of The Golf Swing Mechanics that Produce a Draw:

-We're going to teach you how to keep your swing on the correctpath. The correct swing path is extremely important, and there'san easy way to make sure that you remain on this path throughoutyour swing. Swing path is really the foundation of a good swing. If you can get that correct, the chances are likely that you'll beplaying pretty good golf. However, since it is such a hard thingto measure and correct it's an area where most golfers struggle. We teach a one-plane swing, and in this video, you'll be learning alot about how to keep the club shaft on same plane throughout yourentire swing.

-You'll Get Better impact- when you start swinging on path that weteach, you'll be entering the impact zone from an inside path. Swinging on this path gives you consistency first, but also power. It adds consistency because you'll be on that same plane throughoutyour entire swing. If you can do this, the chances of hitting theball successfully, increase dramatically. It also adds powerbecause you'll be releasing your whole body through the ball in thecorrect manner. Of course, there are a few things that need to cometogether in order to do this, but once you understand the mechanicsyou'll catch on quick. Finally, You'll learn how to actually hitthe clubs in your bag, as they were meant to be hit. This is goingto make a huge difference in your game, because you'll be hittingyour clubs the way they were intended to be hit. The improvementwill be drastic.
