... not sure what a "draw" club is intended to do .... is it intended for the player who naturally hits a draw to correct that & give less draw --- OR --- does it mean that it is intended to give more draw (which likely is intended to couteract a slice by giving more draw) ?

Thanks

A draw club is set up to help rotate the head easier/faster to prevent having your club face too open at impact.  Generally manufacturers do this by increasing off set, which is the distance the club face is from the center of the shaft plane and weighting the club head to be lighter at the tip of the head and heavier at the hosel end.

OK, I think I understand ... so is it intended then for guys that have a neutral swing & want to consistengly hit a draw (or in my case, to help minimize a slice ?)

Somewhat. I cant imagine there being a draw biased sandwedge though. It gets harder to work the ball with short clubs. I can imagine a draw based sandwedge might cause some slight pulls for the player who normally hits it straight.

Agreed on all counts....

A "Draw biased" club is intended to offer MORE draw/chance of draw to the buyer.  As for a draw biased Sand Wedge ---  pure marketing baloney.  Not even Sara Brown would fall for it!  (Go Carling!) With the majority of golfers right-handed, and the majority of those fighting missed shots to the right, some of the knuckleheads would by a draw biased putter because it sounds cool...

Great - thanks.     I see your point & would be willing to bet that even SB wouldn't be able to draw it out of a bunker

Out of a fairway bunker, clean contact, maybe a 6 or 7 iron, sure...  I can draw that.  Sara could flat out carve the thing.

I have a draw sand wedge. It's called move it back in your stance and trap the motherf-----r.

Why would anybody want a SW that sets up for a draw? Isn't everyone trying to get more spin, a softer landing, etc. If you block/slice your SW, then set up differently. Fred Couples has made millions of bucks on tour hitting his wedges with an open setup.

The concept is just wrong on so many levels.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
