I've been Playing Golf for: 20+

My current handicap index or average score is: 82-88

My typical ball flight is: Baby fade to straight MId

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I'm actually trying to add the draw on command in to my game.

I would like some input on what adjustments I would need to add that nice draw to my swing arsenal. I know I need to be flatter at the top but it feels uncomfortable and not natural... I dunno. Any swing tip help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry no face on only down the line.

Thanks

On top of the above tip...the easiest way to tell you how to hit a draw is to aim your club face at the intended target and align your body (shoulders, hips, feet) with the intended start line and swing the club (normally) down the intended start line or the way your body is pointing.

Which is a great way to start the ball at your intended target and have it curve right (for a lefty) away from your target.

A better place to start would be to align your club face with your intended start line, and swing further left of that line to produce a draw that starts left of your target and draws back to it.

Like what Mordan said, ball start primarily where the face is pointing at impact and curves away from the path.  So let's say we're talking about the player in red in the above pic.  He's hitting draws with the face 2* left of the target with the path 4* left of the target.  Face is closed to the path but aimed left of the target (for a lefty)  Good link to check out http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/ball_flight_laws

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 177 - 2025-03-26 Hit some slower drivers and some little wedges today. Drivers were to show the dumb side of my brain (the subconscious side) that the downswing works just fine.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By klineka ·

      A big advantage hybrids have over a long iron is in the rough.  Far easier to get a 19 degree hybrid through thick rough and hit/hold an elevated green than it is with a 19 degree 3 iron.   I'm not an engineer or anything but I also think that since hybrids have a deeper face the center of gravity is lower and further back which can promote higher ball speeds and higher launch/ball flight.  There are plenty of YouTube videos comparing hybrids to long irons and the pros and cons of each.

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By billchao ·

      Knocked off the first birdie of the year on #15 at Quail Brook GC, what I’m calling my home course again. Good drive followed by a perfect 3W. Didn’t think I could reach the green in two and almost did. Chipped to 5’ and made the putt. Didn’t birdie that one all year in 2024 and figures it’s the first one I get in 2025.

      Hitting Mat Recommendations for Home?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I've had this one since 2021.  Amazon.com No complaints.  I had to reglue the little Velcro tabs onto the yellow foam guide thingies. But that's not a big deal. The Velcro came off almost immediately and I put them back on using super-glue and they've been fine ever since. I've hit a lot of balls off this in my garage and I have no complaints.

      Hitting Mat Recommendations for Home?

      By Zeph ·

      I've been thinking about buying a hitting mat for home indoors use. I currently only got a small patch of some mat I bought years ago and stand on a wooden platform. It'd be nice having a mat to stand on and hit from. After some searching, I see Fiberbuilt often being praised. Not sure if I can get hold of it easily here, and buying internationally can get expensive for a mat that's already quite pricey (~$800). The Wittek Quattro is also usually favorably mentioned, and at half the price (~$400) of the Fiberbuilt. Anyone have experince with this mat? Any other suggestions?
