Learn How to Hit a Draw - The Most Powerful Shot in Golf - PurePoint Golf

[TheProvobaby]

at the start of the video, were told to aim the club slightly right whilst keeping the shoulders, hips, knees and feet pointing parallel left of the target. when it comes to the shot round the trees, hes telling us to aim everything right?

[bobscottjnr]

Are you familiar with the new ball flight laws?

[orangewhiptrainer]

like it!

[drippsy5226]

Zach johnson doesn't hit a fade...he hits a draw for distance he's a short hitter...that was the furthest example from someone who hits a fade

[JAKEHARRIS281]

Hitting a correct draw will produce more distance than a straight swing because of less backspin. A fade will produce less distance but will be more accurate. We need to learn how to consistently do both!!!!!!!

[subtractthegrizzly23]

Sonicandshadow, vijay, Zach Johnson, Steve stricker and plenty of others play a power fade off the tee for more control and those are three of the most accurate drivers on tour. About your lesson, my boss plays a fade and rarely misses a fairway because it's a more conforming swing path for ameteur swing speeds.

>WALKERBOTTOMLEY

fading has better control and ball stop easier on green.

>izzy0210

Draw has even less back spin than straight ball and ball run more. so distance is Draw>Straight>Fade, and control is Fade>Straight>Draw

[izzy0210]

why hit a draw??? it almost is never useful.l hitting it straight much better right?

[aangman007]

@izzy0210 a draw goes farther and lets you play more shots. It'll roll more or, if you want to and play with a weak grip and it'll land softer

[WALKERBOTTOMLEY]

i hit a draw naormally and that helps me and fades make you hit it shorter

[SonicandShadow1993]

Its wierd I had a lesson today with my coach and he said that I'm better fading the ball then drawing which he suggested that I should fad the ball more but he didn't said I shouldn't practice drawing the ball and I'm woundering that How many golfers fades the ball more? any examples???

[StringPlay33]

Its a lot of the tim based on preference but more on what the shot requires. If you have to swing a ball back left due to an obstical, then you'll use the draw. Same goes for the fade.

[Nepalm9]

Theres a couple but I forgot there names

[cockywatchman1976]

This video is very poor. Downswing should start with the legs-not straightening the arm. This is just rubbish

[burkeyatm]

As a previously CHRONIC slice demon, this is EXACTLY what the local pro taught me and I'm cured. Ball goes further and feels "stronger" after I've hit it. Good tip I say.

[notc7ay]

This video is a bad example of a draw. It may work for some people but in the long run it will cause a hook

[dennisoh1983]

this is not a good way to hit a draw, because it may cause a hook.

it is better if you do not "cross over the right arm over the left arm" but just swing with the patch more in to out in comparison with the clubface at impact

[4golfonline]

Wow nice guide helped me alot, i will try it at my next lesson at exeter driving range.

Btw check out my channel if you want to see some awesom golf videos

[nicewave1]

This is so silly , if you aim the modern drive right of target it will always go right of target.....always aim at target and adjust stance to suit either fade or draw!

[uechanchung]

the end of your sentence is the same as the beginning.

aim at target, adjust to the right so your draw will go into the target. basically same thing as aiming right, youre just being pretentious

[yeahImAbeastiNo]

i'd like to know where the ball ended up. but everything sounded like it worked so i'll assume its on the green

[datnewg]

Great Explaination of the draw, hope it works for me.

[SonicandShadow1993]

What I do is first I turn my arms and then turn my body but it could be wrong and if it is then HELP ME!!!

[CallMehParker]

whenever i hit a ball with my driver or wood it seems to slowly fade right...does anybody know how to fix that..or can anyone tell me what is causing me to do this?

[Harpgod]

It depends maybe it's your shaft... maybe your swing or maybe both :)

[JLTRAIN233]

is it easier to have a stiff shaft to create a draw

[owenmyster]

thats rubbish!

[cockywatchman1976]

Not true-stiff shaft makes it harder for most people. I have stiff shafts-stops me hooking

[BIGCHEESYC0W]

I have the same problem it is because you are swinging to fast try and slow down your swing

[cholme7]

No.. thats awesome.. play that shot consistently

[sangbok420]

samething for me...i can draw-fade with my iron, but only fade with my driver or wood...

where the strategy differs with the wood shot???

[aj8287]

could be your set up.

[qadsia666]

umm I have the same problem people told me to keep my body steady and try to let the club loose before you down swing because if your late wit te release it fades rigt its easy to understand but its a assle to get right :(

[UmichFlipside]

Swing more inside the ball instead of over top of it.

[snowdude060]

your club face isnt completley square when you hit the ball

[Th0roughBreed]

it probably has to do with the opening of the club face a little late when you hit the ball try closing the face earlier

[MrAsiangolf]

@CallMehParker if your golf ball goes on starting line and drift to the right then its only cause by 2 things 1is your club face open at impact 2your ball position is to back of your stand the club head will not rotate back in time at the point of impact

[DCmillion]

fade is better, once u turned pro fade is more easier to control.

[DT1SCO]

Me and my friends all play with a draw. This is the perfect swing if u just focus

im the longest hitter out of my age group in my club and drawing the ball is wat got my handicap to 4 at the age of 14

[EverythingGolf]

Right on RdbGolfTips!

[RdbGolfTips]

Great Stuff! For all the folks who slam FREE information on the internet, just remember, it is completely free and no one is saying that this is the only way to swing a golf club, instead this golf professional took a whole lot of time to give FREE information to try and help all who are interested. On my website I have over a million views and I get the same bashing. My point is there are several ways to swing the golf club. None of which is right or wrong, it's what works for you. Cheers

[SIRxFathomless]

To much thinking on this strat, will just cause you to worm burn along the ground or simply shank it way right to the other fairway LOL

[keundrefresh]

Yeah this guy is dead on. I tried it and it works. I think he explains the draw very well. Good stuff.

[tweezy99]

So basically it wants you to change your swing mechanics and your plane? Sounds so easy a pro could do it.

I'd rather keep things simple. Aim the body right at address while pointing the club face at the target.

[bohs1984]

1st. Learn to hit golf ball correctly (read Hogan) 2nd. Aim feet right of target with club face aimed at target. 3rd. Swing normal swing. For fade, reverse. If you cannot do #1 do not bother going to stage two or three. You people think too much. The club is in the impact zone for a millisecond. You cannot think that fast. You have to work the ball based on your set up and then swing normal. The set up must create a consistant fade or draw. Otherwise, you cannot count on it at all.

[lespaulstudio22]

Thanks, that helped very much. Nice voice lol.

[prestonsshadow]

Assuming you hackers browbeating this video can hit a golf ball straight on a regular basis, then his tips for hitting a draw are correct. There a various way to hit a draw, this is just one of many ways to teach it.  And rhinojaws, you don't play very often do you? The purpose of straightening that arm out on the downswing IS in fact for speed, power, and less tendency to mishit (locking that elbow keeps a weaker player from letting the lead arm getting away from them on an overzealous swing)

[andrianc3g]

Straighten right arm on the way down? LOLZ. Ben Hogan would slap this guy. Butt end of club towards ball/path towards top is excellent tho.  All Jack Nicklaus did was change his foot alignment, no flippy stuff.

[jrsensAAA]

that was awful. that is the worst way of explaining how to hit a draw.

[rhinojaws]

(on the downswing) "..the first thing you want to focus on is the right arm straightens out immediately on the downswing. That creates clubhead speed."

Uhhh.....All that creates is casting, and a LOSS of clubhead speed.

Swing-path creates a draw, unless you choose to flip your hands.

Good attempt here, but to those watching, choose your information carefully.....

[brian77731]

i agree, the first thing is to start ur swing with your lower body........ For those high handicaps.... dont listen to this video it will put u in a big hole.....

[Funmichi]

he dont tell us how to play adraw...

[riazkhancrm]

With the same swing When i open the driver club face a lot I draw/hook the ball when I keep the face straight the ball fades/slices.  Most of my shots start left and then draws ending up on the left side of the fairway or in the left rough. When i open the face i feel i can swing through and around more easily. Some times when i take the club on the outside with the hands only the ball goes straingt right and fades. what is happening?

[bigjaw33]

hi, umm yeah great tip......seriously. i play off a 2 hcp and could never seem 2 hit a draw, .......i have always wanted for my natural shot 2 be a draw but always hit it straight or weak cuts off to the right............the tip about having ur palms facing each other has allowed me 2 release the club with ease.........have jst been 2 the course and hitting it the best i ever have with draws.........thanks =D.

[dailloydfairwood]

One of the best tips.-

Keep your right shoulder back longer on the downswing.This has really helped me.

Thank you.

Dave.

[slickcrew]

i did

[slickcrew]

Not bad for a fuddy duddy, nice explanation of the draw, now can you tell me how to do that from 3ft of grass?

[IkethePanda]

why are you trying to hit a draw in 3ft of grass? You probably want to just worry about getting out of that grass....

[foruM4A1]

you also shouldn't be in 3 ft grass :D that's bad if you didn't know

[quasiphatpaul]

thats pretty much what the video says

[louisewalbach]

ok ill give it a go.

[yidkidritson]

Thanks for that i have learnt a lot of tips from you and have tried them out i have got max results once again thank you very much.

[1k2b3s4f5m6g]

See when i hit a draw i aim right at my target. When i hit the ball it goes right and then draws right back to the target.

[wildbyname2]

surely by saying and demonstrating coming "inside" on the backswing, this will promote a more over the top on the downswing and a out to in path, u cant hit a draw from there.

[loganeast]

Your knees, shoulders, hips and feet should all be parallel to the target line. If you hold the club up to your shoulders, the line it makes should be parallel to the target line. Ditto for the knees, hips, and feet. They won't point directly at the target, because that would mean your shoulders, etc. are not parallel to the target line. That is why its "parallel left". If you're a left-hander, it would parallel right. Does that make sense?

[gilligog]

yes it does, thanks very much!!! Kind of simple really when you put it like that, lol. So then, your body is lined up to the target, but you aim the club face slightly to the right (for right handed players)? Is that generally correct?

[loganeast]

Basically that's right, but what you're actually doing is aiming to the right because the ball will have right to left spin moving it naturally to the left (this is all assuming your right handed). So your target line is still the target line.

[gilligog]

what does he mean by aiming the feet, knees, hips and shoulders "parallel left" of where the ball should start? Does this mean you set you body to aim to the left and your club aiming to the right (but wouldn't this cut/slice the ball) or do you just aim everything slightly right of target... this bit seems to confuse me a little... any help?

[dbgolf]

he forgets one method of hitting a draw and that is when you set up for a draw aiming right of your target you want your clubface to be lined up with your target and your body to aim right that way your not munipulating your hands causing you to start hooking the ball when you hit a straight shot....

[hittman1412]

that's not a draw that's a deliberate hook

[ciscorecall]

Thanks for the invaluables tips by the method and your great clips.Atleast I'm more confident on what to remember during my swings,TX

[jayhawk808]

thx i mastered hitting it straight and long (i won a long drive contest today) but i wanted to learn how to hit a draw cuz they go a bit farther
