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

      Great Video on Practicing Like a Pro

      Very interesting stuff. My one thought that popped out at me is about Scottie Scheffler and the molded grip 7 iron. I would think the chance that it's one of the random ones you can buy from PGA Tour superstore or what have you is very unlikely. I would be astounded if that wasn't done custom for his exact grip, putting it rather out of reach of most of us. The thing about the foam rolling was very interesting. It's not something I've ever done before a lesson at the venue. If I'm feeling stiff or sore, I might do something with a foam roller at home, although even that is unlikely.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By Yukari · Posted

      Well, I am not surprised since the departure of Koepka and Reed.  Also Mickelson taking hiatus from golf hasn't helped any - albeit he is not much of a needle mover these days. Surprising is LIV hasn't offered any contract extension to Bryson as he seems to be the only marquee player they have at the moment.  Oh wait there is Dustin, Sergio, and ???  But these two guys haven't been doing much lately anyway.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 7, April 15.   I was so excited about the pelvis turn drills that I didn't work on the hip rotation drill from my latest Skillest lesson (oops!).  I worked on that today, using a cereal box.  I also continued to do some pelvis turn drills, in part because I'm doing some of it with all practice balls hit, and I wanted to hit some balls this morning too.

      I was hoping to find an image of my Edel Putter in my swing thread here. I found the video of the 1st tee shot at Moon Valley from 2015.  Whooo man, that backswing, 🤣 Man, I had faster hips and more mobile hips back then. I could get the hips open prior to impact.
