working the driver

[skates]

Hey guys,

Having a little trouble drawing the ball with the driver. My normal swing produces a power cut for the most part and a slice with lack of focus. When I set up for a draw it normally just stays dead straight. Not a terrible thing but I am normally pretty aggressive and like to try to cut corners(much better wedge player than mid-long iron player) I am just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions that could help me out and try to actually hit a draw.

thanks for the help

Sounds like your 'normal swing' is OTI, across the target line.  As a result, when you try to draw the ball (squaring the face to the swing path) you end up with straight shot, likely left of target (or well left of alignment).

Most pros and better players who play a fade will still approach the ball from the inside.

To hit a draw you need to work on hitting the ball slightly inside at the 7:00 position (if 12:00 and 6:00 are your target line).
