Countless golfers aim to draw their shots with their driver each day at ranges and on courses around the world. Right handed players will find that their ball curves considerably right to left while drawing. As a coveted off the tee shot, the draw can add considerable distance to any drive. Being able to draw at will off of the tee will also increase the odds of hitting fairway when playing right to left dogleg style holes.
Golfer’s that can produce a Bryson DeChambeau style golf swing have seemingly found the secret sauce in terms of their driving ability. While DeChambeau’s golf swing takes into consideration all of the classic elemental calculations that any other player would consider, Bryson’s swing has helped him to become one of the PGA Tour’s most prolific drivers and an amazing putter. The secret sauce on Bryson DeChambeau’s golf swing may simply be that he places selective focus on the elements of the game he finds to be the most important, an ability to draw off the tee with natural consistency.
When me and my golf students start training our draw shots, we first assess the way we’re gripping our clubs. When usually notice that the index finger and thumb on each hand form a V shape naturally, but by turning this shape slightly right, we’ve now applied what most would consider to be a strong grip.
Such a grip allows me and my golf students to curve the ball from right to left with much ease. I encourage players to practice and experiment how far they can turn their hands to draw without causing a snap hook, which would send the ball far left rather than on target.
During address, players must align their feet and shoulders to ensure they’re pointed slightly right of the intended target. Next, aim your clubface directly at your target while maintaining a closed clubface positioning.
You’ll notice that the ball starts out by going to the right and cutting back left, eventually remaining completely on target. Draws tend to be better golf shots for most players as they add distance and control in many driving situations, which keeps the technique fresh in the minds of many golfers who’ve yet to master the shot.
While hitting draws, golfers will notice their left forearm rotating or rolling under as they approach the impact position. When this rotation closes the clubface, golfers are creating the desired right to left trajectory of the ball. By rotating our left forearm correctly during the impact position, we must be mindful that the pressure of our grip hasn’t become too tight.
There may not be better golf techniques than the draw shot, as such a tool can turn an otherwise mediocre drive into a PGA Tour style smash, which will make for an amazing day on the golf course or at the range.
