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

Right shoulder down longer to help get the hands deeper and shoulder under your chin at the top of the backswing.

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

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
