Fine Tune Your Draw For More Yards

Author: golf4fun, 04 30th, 2008

No shot is more important to a straight-hitter than a draw. It carries farther, rolls more and holds its line in the wind. However, teaching yourself to hit one is difficult, because your body is used to making the opposite moves. You need to shake up your muscle memory before you can retrain it to swing for a draw. Her are two drills that can help.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Hit From Your Knees

 The key to the shallow angle of attack that produces a draw is to quiet your shoulders and let your arms swinng.

  Tee up a ball as you would for your driver, than drop to your knees. Now simply swing back and through and knock the ball off the tee. Swinging back will be easy. but at first during your downswing you will probably stick the club into the ground a foot or so behind the ball. That is your shoulders taking charge from the top. You will start making solid contact from your knees when your arms control your shoulders. Master this drill and you will make a shallow angle of attack when you are back on your feet-the perfect swing path for a draw.

Side-hill Lies

Many players cannot draw the ball because they do not know what it feels like to get the ball moving from the right to left. Hitting shots from a side-hill lie with the ball above your feet gives you instant feedback. Your usual steep angle into impact will make you hit big, sweeping hooks because the hill forces the club-face to point left. but at least you will be putting some right -to-left spin on the ball.                                                                                   

Now try starting the ball to the right of the target from this lie. you will be forced to swing on the flatter and more shallow plane that you need to draw the ball from a normal lie. Keep practicing until the ball starts right and comes back to the left.Remember this feeling because it is the one you want in all your swings.

How To Develope A Feel For The Club During You Swing.

Author: golf4fun, 04 18th, 2008

Developing a keen feel of where your club-head is during your golf swing will go along way toward improving your golf game, because if you know where your club-head is and where it is going during your swing than you know where the ball is going and can make   corrections.

One way is to stand up with a 4 or 5 iron in your right hand, close your eyes and spin the club in your hand and then re-grip it, with your eyes still closed try to picture where the toe of the club is, it is the heaviest part of the club-head, do this until you can tell precisely where the club-head is just by feel, Do it 15 times with your right hand and then 15 times with your left hand and when you can tell precisely where that club-head is with your eyes still closed than you have a good feel for your club and now you know when you hit the ball where the ball  is going to go and can make corrections accordingly.
