How to Hit a Draw with Spine Align Golf
A draw is a shot that starts slightly right of your target and curves back left for right-handed golfers. Mastering this shot adds control and versatility to your game. With Spine Align Golf, you can learn the correct setup, swing path, and clubface control to hit consistent draws.
Setup for a Draw
Alignment
- Position your feet, hips, and shoulders slightly right of the target line.
- Place the ball a little back in your stance.
Grip
- Use a slightly stronger grip to help close the clubface.
- Keep grip pressure light for better control.
Stance and Posture
- Maintain a stable spine angle.
- Keep knees flexed but relaxed.
- Weight slightly favoring the back foot.
Swing Path for a Draw
- Swing along an inside-out path relative to your target.
- Rotate your body naturally, avoiding over-swinging with the arms.
- Focus on smooth tempo rather than power alone.
