finally figure out how to hit a draw with a driver

[jenhaoyen]

I kept thinking I have to hang back and release it with zee hands.

but it only goes to the right, either big push or big slice.

i would aim wayy right too. for the last few weeks, I have tried just hit as hard as I can to the left.

bam a nice big draw. I would still aim a little bit right, but really try to feel like I'm pulling to the left. The ball starts right and draw back.

I have problem hitting a fade or a cut, just not a right to left draw or big hook.


confused. I guess if you hang back too much you only rely on your hands to square the club face and sometimes it's not enough. Pretty sure this is just for me tho haha

got almost 2 birdies every round now...close to 78-79 used to be 81-85. Of course figuring out how to putt correclty is important too. I almost feel like I always aim to the left too much with my putter.

Not too be mean but it sounds me like you don't quite understand the d-plane.

Aim slightly right, swing that way but make sure to swing "up" and you should hit a tiny draw. Sounds like either you are not hitting up enough or you are aiming much too far to the right. I think it might be more towards the 2nd one because when you say you swung more left it was left enough of how far RIGHT you were swinging if that makes sense?

Again these are just guesses

I don't understand hitting up. Do i intentionally try to hit up? Whenever I do that I lose distance and the ball either go baloon in the air or hooking off the planet. I usually just let the club do it's work. maybe that's where I lost it.

This has been my swing for the past year at least, the last few shots were just messing around with choking down


This was video taped probably few month ago, I did some minor twitching by not swinging so much left with my driver, that's all.
it might not be your tour swing, but works for me. I don't ever have to practice, i'm pretty dialed in with 75 percent, 50 percent, and 100 percent of my swing. The only thing i need to pracetice is shortgame.......i feel blessed.
