How to Induce a Draw Shot

Once you're comfortable with your own golf swing, you can further manipulate the ball's movements by learning to hit a draw. Inducing this type of shot will cause the ball to move from right to left during flight. It's a useful shot for navigating around hazards or doglegs in the fairway. A well-placed draw may look impressive, but its execution isn't as difficult as it may seem. Some minor adjustments to your stance and swing will cause the ball to go exactly where you desire.

Instructions

      Set up your grip and posture as you would for a normal shot. Position yourself so the ball is just behind center in your stance, and slightly widen the position of your feet.

      Keep your feet, hips and shoulders square as you align yourself for the swing. Adjust your feet so they're aimed 10 to 15 degrees to the right of the target area.

      Position the clubface so that you're aiming directly toward the target. Grip the club with a little more pressure than you normally would.

      Begin your backswing low and wide, keeping the plane flat along the line of your feet. Swing downward in a sweeping movement and follow through with your regular motion.
