Draw a Golf Ball
May 2, 2008
I read your post on how to fade a golf ball so could you please give me the other half and tell me how to draw a golf ball? - Mack in Merced, CA
Sure thing, for the unfamiliar a golf draw is where the ball curves from right to left vs left to right in a golf fade. The unintended version of a draw is the hook shot. This is an uncontrolled curve to the left and the ball lands far, far left of the target.
Now, when you draw a golf ball, the steps are the opposite of the fade. You should aim the clubface along the target line. Make sure to have your shoulders pointing to the right of the target. This should be parallel to your intended ball flight line.
After you have made this set up, if you make your normal swing along your shoulder line, the clubface will be just slightly closed at impact. If this is done right, the end result will be a soft draw shot that curves from right to left back to the target. Now you have both halves of the equation and much more control of where the ball will land when you take a swing. Happy strokes!!
