Hey guys, all the time my hands are always low way beneath my shoulder line at the top of my backswing, and it makes it very difficult to draw the ball from that position (the draw is my swing goal). So is there any drills for ingraining an upright backswing (I.E. hands are high)?

A video would help. We can't tell where your hands are, but deep hands is a great way to hit a draw. http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/30325/deep-hands-explained

I know deep hands helps draw the ball, but I want a *high* draw. That's what I meant, sorry to not mention it in the last post. You know, those old "Tiger draws" ;-) My deep hands prevents it from going high, and I need to fix it.

You want high hands or a high ball flight? Deep hands with an open clubface is a great way to hit a high push-draw. Incidentally my stock shot with the irons, and I got deep hands. The ball stops dead pretty quickly, even with a long iron.

I mean sure, you need the right club for the yardage, but knocking it stiff while stopping dead with a long iron is a feeling unlike any other :-D

An upright swing doesn't necessarily make the ball go any higher. There's nothing truly inherent in it that will hit the ball high. If an upright swing and a flat swing arrive at the same impact conditions, they'll send the ball on the same trajectory. Push-draws go higher than pull-fades.
