What is a Golf Draw?

If you’re looking to improve your golf game, one of the most important things you can do is learn how to hit a draw.

A draw is a shot that starts the ball right of your intended target – whether that is the centre of the fairway or the flagstick on the green – and curves back.

It is essentially hitting the ball with top spin and it is the reason why a draw adds yardage to your shot compared to a fade, which is a left-to-right shot hit with underspin.

With practice, even beginners and golfers with a fade or slice can learn how to hit a draw.

Easiest Way to Hit a Draw in Golf

One of the most frustrating things about trying to hit a draw in golf is that it can be incredibly difficult to do. However, with a bit of practice, you can become a much better golfer at hitting this shot.

One of the best ways to improve or develop a draw in your game is to get a consistent rhythm and technique in your swing, and ensure you are gripping the club correctly in the first place.

When hitting an a draw, it is important to have a strong grip on the club with your right hand (for right handed golfers) so that you can generate that top spin on the ball as you strike it.

Practice getting that right hand more round the grip rather than open and it will go a long way to start learning how to hit a golf draw regularly.

A weaker open grip, coupled with an over the top swing, is what impacts the fade or slice on the ball and it is this that you need to avoid.

At the heart of hitting a draw shot is understanding how to position the clubface correctly at impact and you have to have a swing coming from inside the ball. The fade or slice happens when your clubhead approaches from outside of the ball.

If you come from inside the ball correctly, the club will naturally create the draw as it continues through the natural arc of the swing.

Here are a few tips for improving your clubface control:

• Start with a firm base. If you can keep your balance and stability throughout your swing, it’ll be much easier to maintain good clubface control.
• Stay tall through the backswing by keeping your spine straight and maintaining sound posture – this will help prevent body motion from affecting clubface alignment at impact.
• Keep an even tempo from start to finish. Don’t rush or drag through the hitting process; let the club come through naturally.
• Be patient. It may take some time to develop good clubface control, but the payoff will be a more consistent and accurate draw.
