Adam’s Setup For A Tight Draw #golfswing #golftips
To hit a tight and controlled draw, Adam sets up straight to the target in his normal set up and then adjusts and shifts his body to the right which will put the ball slightly farther back in his stance. This results in a beautiful tight draw that he can nail every time. It doesn’t have to be complicated to hit different shot shapes, find what works for you and go from there.

A bit late now mate. 2014 was 12 years ago
I do the exact opposite. My alignment dictates my face at impact and then I adjust the path to change the shape. Aiming slightly right allows me to pull across the ball more and hit a cut because I know my face will come back square to my alignment.
Slightly different insofar as align your body (target line) to the right of the pin, then aim the clubface half way between target line and the pin. No surprise that he overcooked it "a bit much" left of the flag.
clearly works 😂😂😂
You tidied up my golf so much. As you did Aaron's. I miss playing so much.
Exactly how I do it😉🤣
Classic!!
Such a sexy swing😊
Dude literally demonstrated how that method doesn’t actually work. 😂
Most important thing when hitting a draw is to make sure you draw it
You shift your body to the right and… the shot shot go towards the way your stance is
Great golfer. The most boring man on the planet.
Great stuff is always simple and no fuss.. ADAM, you are awesome.
😂 the arrow painted under feet is farther right than his toes line up.
Its for shaping shots, and dealing with wind, sometimes you need to bend it around trees ect.
This is the method Jack Nicklaus used, with the opposite for fade.
Hitting from the inside is key. Any over the top move, no draw…🏌️
I want that draw! Lol
All you have to be is awesome.
What that change of stance and face does is cause a swipe across the inside of the ball which tilts the backspin axis like an airplane wing in a banked turn / causing a lift differential that curves the ball flight golf ⛳️ ) right to left. You also need to change where you aim to inside of dead center > + on the ball and commit to finish the swing looking right not twisting back in the finish to look at the target. I learned that from Nicklaus in his book Golf My Way back in the 80s when I started playing and have been shaping shots ever since.
The easiest way to learn is to start by adjusting stance to face to the right and hit some balls straight right (variable #1) then incrementally change variable #2 the face angle which will start moving the ball right to left in the air and on the green after it lands, which is really the goal when hitting shaped approach shots.
If the green is longer on an angle right to left hitting a draw and landing it front right on the green is will give it a better chance of staying on the green and rolling to a back pin than a straight shot. This was an important skill back in the days of Balata wound balls and Persimmon Drivers when reaching the green on a Par 4 was Driver + 150 yard 7 iron, not Driver and 60° wedge to a postage stamp sized island green surrounded by alligators.
It’s also more difficult to shape the modern balls. Curving the ball requires the ball to have a lot of backspin created lift and to get it you need to be able to fully compress the ball in the face which most recreational golfer swing speeds don’t.
Adam Scott was coached by one of my favorite instructors Steve Bann whose book Simply Golf: Back to Basics is one of the best of many I’ve read. I came across it in the early 2000s and his concept of “Set up is impact” really helped improve my swing making be realize all the ways impact position of hips, hands, shoulders are so different than the address posture. If you pose yourself in the impact position when lining up the shot then move to the normal address position to start the takeaway its much easier to get back to the ideal impact position because the conscious and reflexive brain both understand that’s the goal.
does he play with "Adams" Clubs like I do…have a guess..:-)
Closing your stance (shifting body to right) doesn't bring the ball back? It puts it forward in your stance? Surely?
if only he could putt…. damn he has a beautiful swing
Of course a consistent swing helps. Not one that's different every other swing.
I have to wonder by some of the replies how many were ever on the PGA tour and how many ever played the game period.
