Successful Tips To Hit A Golf Draw Shot

A golf draw shot is an ideal golf swing shot for many golfers as it often helps them get more distance and serves as a nifty weapon to help curve your golf shot around an obstacle to your target.

Basically, a golf draw shot slowly curves from right to left toward your target.  The opposite of a draw shot is a “fade” which occurs when your shot curves slowly from left to right.

The differences between a draw shot and a fade were great, draw shots averaged 233 yards in carry and roll, the fades only 216. Therefore it is possible for you to gain at least 17 yards in distance on a fade.

To hit an “intentional” draw shot, here are a few golf tips to set up and execute the golf draw shot every time you play.

1. Align your body slightly to the right of your target.  A good way to do this is align parallel to your target like you normally do with your golf shots, then rotate your body clockwise about five degrees so that you are aligned just right of the target. This drill will help you to setup and execute your draw shot perfectly.
2. Assume a stronger golf grip which encourages a little bit more of a “closed” club face.  To assume a stronger golf grip, rotate your hands on the grip toward the right.  Your club face should now be slightly closed which helps promote more of a “right to left” ball flight. It’s means proper golf gripping is required.
3. To properly hit the golf draw shot, it is important to have more of a loose grip which promotes more “release” so loosen your grip slightly for a fluid “release” through the golf draw shot.
4. The final step is very critical.  Though your body line is just right of the target, when you assume your setup position, it is important to aim your clubface directly at the target AND execute your swing along your body line.  In other words, swing as you normally do because your body position, grip and clubface position will work together to produce the golf draw shot. When all these things work perfectly together you are able to hit a golf draw shot.

Hopefully these golf tips will help you to enhance your golf skills and motivate you to hit the draw shot in a perfect way.
