Hitting a draw in golf involves intentionally curving the ball from right to left (for right-handed golfers) or from left to right (for left-handed golfers). This shot shape can add distance and help you navigate around obstacles on the course. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to hit a draw:
Grip Setup: Start with a proper grip. For a draw, a slightly strong grip is preferred. This means your top hand (left hand for right-handed golfers) should rotate slightly clockwise on the club handle, promoting a closed clubface at impact.
Alignment: Align your feet, hips, and shoulders slightly to the right of your target (for right-handed golfers). This alignment encourages the ball to start to the right and curve back to the left.
Stance and Ball Position: Position the golf ball slightly forward in your stance, closer to your front foot. This setup encourages an inside-to-outside swing path, which is essential for hitting a draw.
Swing Path: During your backswing, focus on taking the club back along your body line, which is slightly inside the target line. On the downswing, initiate the movement from your lower body, shifting your weight to your front foot. This helps create an inside-to-outside swing path.
