Need Help--Too Draw!

[mikelaw]

Somebody PLEASE help me hit a draw! I am a natural fader and I LOVE it but sometimes a draw is needed.

Please help.

You understand the physics of it, right? Clubface closed relative to swing path.

Close your stance, keep your clubface pointing at the target or a teeny bit left of the target (if your swing naturally leaves it open a bit).

Yes Erik thanks I do and I know alot about other ways to draw like a stronger grip, ball position..etc...

Maybe I just need to get out and practice it more. thanks!

I used to fade a ball and slice it heavily too. I read an article with Darren Clarke and he said if he wants to hit a draw he strengthen his grip so he can see 3 or even 4 knuckles on his left hand.

I tried it and have never looked back tbh. It gives you a massive help closing the face and i now hit most of my shots with a nice draw or straight. If i want to hit a fade i just weaken my grip. Try it!

Ugh, I'd love to trade places with you right now. I've been hitting this big slinging draw lately with my driver that has become really hard to control.

thanks everyone. 3-4 knuckles is alot!!!!!!!! i will try it though.

I see 1.5 at the most!

Remember, you can talk to a fade, but a hook won't listen.......

This may seem a little counter-intuitive. But ive found better success in working the ball by "thinking it" rather than anyting mechanical. I dont purposfully move the ball around often, but when i need to hit a draw, i just think draw. Then it magically happens. Whenever ive tried to set up mechanically to hit a draw or a fade, i end up hitting it dead strait and ruining myself.
