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

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

    • I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?
    • Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.  
    • In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%
    • He won the Zozo after that to "tie" Sam Snead. But… yeah.
    • 3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
