HOW TO DRAW THE GOLF BALL TOP 5 DO'S AND DON'TS 

The BEST video on the subject. Every other youtuber gives the same boring advice.... hit in to out, drop the club at the top, stay on plane, blah blah blah. We’ve heard it all before. This is unique advice

Seriously, this is one of the GOAT golf videos; watch, think and practise people.

I think this was the best "Draw" video I've ever seen online. It covers all the bases. It took me like a year to learn to hit a nice draw and sometimes i will loose it on the course(too fast body rotation losing my I-O path). Im gonna store this video to send to anyone i know struggling with their swing. Its so much more than those stupid quick fix videos

that cupping/bowing of the left wrist was mind blowing for me when i first heard about it. i was cupping the hell out of it and i didn't know i was doing it. started bowing it and my whole swing just came together instantly. not enough ppl talk about that

Natural draw with every club. Can hit little fades with irons but struggle hitting a “proper” fade with the woods. I’d like to see a video on why you can’t fade the ball but I know it’s really all about controlling path and face to path. 👍

One other thing, wrist extension sneaks in and the ball slices. Keeping the wrist straight and relaxed keeps the ball in line. You provided a great lesson with that explanation.

Fantastic video. I used to shank then after a lot of lessons and perseverance I started to draw. Now I’ve gone the other way and can’t freaking stop hitting it left. Can’t wait to get down the range and try out some of these things almost in reverse.

Loft and Speed is the exact reason I moved late this year from an 18 degree hybrid to an 18 degree 5 wood. Off a tee I loved that hybrid, but I was reduced to only fading it into a green. The added 1 1/2" shaft length of the 5 wood has given me just enough speed increase to be able to not have to fade it.

Just recently started learning how to work the ball both ways. Absolutely love it and makes tee shots and shots into tucked pins much easier.

Mark... This is by far The most informative video I've seen on how to draw the ball & control how much draw you want. Not just how to but also how to practice it. Seriously Top Notch! Definitely going to watch this one a few more times.👏👏👍👍🤝

Top 5 reasons i pull irons when swinging hard!!

I've been working on my driver and trying to minimise or eliminate my fade/slice. I'm now hitting far more straight (rarely draws) balls by strengthening the grip and extending my back-swing which seems to give the club more time to drop inside. I'm playing a Callaway Rogue 1.5 degree Driver which has been set to standard loft and draw and I've noticed I hit it a bit too low straight and a lovely height with the fade. Tomorrow I'm going to try +1 draw. Watch this space.

Think I heel it........ fades and slices with the odd hook. Lots of ideas to try out - thanks chaps.

May need to wait until it warms up slightly but would love to see a video on how you can work on the swing with alignment sticks. I think a lot of people miss the fact that you can do more than point them down range and most have a point hidden under the pretty rubber end caps for jamming in the turf.

you guy's are primarily standard length in your irons or woods...the issue I see is when irons are too long or too short. In instruction I see students with different body types that have been fitted for the wrong length irons which leads to face to path all over the place. Wrist to floor measurement just doesn't work with everyone. You guy's have a great setup for capturing numbers...Thanks for what you do.

my problem was swing path. used sky-pro device and worked on my back-swing to fix my path then worked on leveling my angle of attack. Afterwards draws started to become consistent.

I love the coaching with examples. Thank you guys.

Great video, really helpful thoughts to incorporate into practice sessions, particularly around thoughts to achieve feel in the open closed iron tip from Matt.

Great tips.. nice and easy to follow.. not sure about Geoff.. think he still needs a little more help.!! Great vid guys xx

It depends, used to be straight with irons and straight or slice with woods. I have watched your v blogs from when you were at the driving range in Devon. Now my irons can have a draw and sometime a hook. My drives are mostly straight to a draw, if I become complacent and not focus I can get a slice. This is quickly corrected to go straight or draw. It's hard to get a fade. The latest thing is my range, what was once a 7 iron is now a 6 iron. Need to tone up, build muscle, yada, yada...

Great video gents ...I can draw all.my irons on command but when I get to my driver and 3 wood just seems like a can't do it . Makes me bat shit crazy..it's the part of my game that holds me back from being in the single digits (11 now)

Interesting,entertaining, and challenging. I do not hook. I am a right handed player, standard grip to slighly strong but naturally left handed (started when there were no left handed clubs), a straight ball hitter in the main. Swing with a slightly cupped left wrist at the top for a full swing, and flattening through the first part of the downswing. A fade is my more natural action and I can fade at will and draw say 2 metres/yards for a full hybrid by consciosly and aggressively rotating the left forearm to square the clubface (slightly closed to the path really). If I don"t do this, it is a block push slice, or a "healy" result, which I hate most of all. My left arm/side is so much stronger/dominant than my right side. My point of interest is the need to consciously rotate the left forearm for the desired outcome.

All good tips. I can shape my iron shots good enough for what i want, but 3 wood and driver always fade or slice to the right off the tee.

Liked...saved...need to reference again and again. One may say I’m “talented” when it comes to “fading” my ball. My path loves to go left.

Very good! Need a new hobby now golf is completed...

I would say controlling my path and face to hit a fade would be the hardest. Been working hard to control path lately been a drawer forever. Off season fun 👍 by the way home drills would be great

I’m gutted that was the “end of ALL videos” lol great lesson there lads can’t wait to try at the range. Never know this could be a game changer. Keep up the good work. Nice to see Dan back

That’s a belter of a video!! Cheers mate, absolutely love it.

Baby fade when playing well but not too far. Start to slice out of nowhere. Went to the range yesterday and slightly adjusted my right hand grip and tried to drop the club head on down swing and was over drawing to hooking. Golf is hard.

Straight, Fade and Slice once in a blue moon one will draw, but I have no idea what I do differently when I get that draw. Top 5 reasons why when you try to find the gap between trees you always hit the tree.

This is one of the pest how 2 vids you have done. However it is a bit confusing mixing all 3 of you guys with different swings going back and forth. You guys have all 3 different stroke plays which is great but breaking it down into 3 diff emend segments would have been better, a bit confusing even though I do understand it because I know my swing type and which person to follow! Great video!!! Keep it up you guys!!!! Love it!!!!

Mark would you fix wrist flipping in impact by closing the club face for that player? Or what would be your best advice for keeping lag tension to the impact?

I rarely slice unless I hit it in the heel. My normal hit is a draw with the driver but the last few months I have struggled to consistently hit one. More often my drives are straight and slightly right because I aim there. Reviewing videos of my drives show that my clubhead is a bit flat at impact (toe down). I am not sure why unless my hands are getting too high but it is hard for me to draw the ball with the toe down.

Yay! I'm not crazy. "Setting up" for a draw is so inconsistent for me. This helps figure out those straight pushes.

Hi Mark, great video. I am a person who naturally plays with a lot of in to out. I would love some keys for how to hit cut shots for people like me. I can hit cuts but have to work very hard to do it and my attempted cuts mostly go straight, thanks, Scott

Struggling with a duck hook driver at the minute so I going to change my grip because I was gripping my driver stronger than all my other clubs.

Brilliant, to be saved and viewed again

I slice or fade never draw (hook sometimes) despite trying to change grip and follow these tips I still break down on the back swing and then hit a fade. the only way I hit straight is if I bend lower as my swing path changes slightly and then it goes straight, i need lessons on the spring to get my handicap down (also despite having a 65 degree wedge i still thin it out ot the bunkers and costs me a least 4 shots a round) 👌👍

That was fantastic! Top 5 reasons I don’t hit more greens.

I think I actually love you 3 guys 🤔...my only source of sanity on my working away weeks ⛳️

I seem to struggle to hit a draw when I grip the club too tightly. And towards the end of a round when I'm tiring. I am a wrist cupper for sure, working on that. I would like to see the top 5 reasons I cant get up and down around the green. My reasons would be 1, thinning my wedges. 2, Hitting short on my wedges. 3. Missing putts from inside 3 feet. 4 Miss reading the green(line). 5, miss reading the green speed.

I am at the moment hitting it straight to more on draw the side. If I need draw it. I just let it happen. Fade is harder for me. I choose to stay more on the draw side because I am functional.

Awesome video Mark ... keep them coming 😉🏌️⛳️🍻

I hit a draw now after my pro sorted out my major out to in from 8 degrees to 2degrees in to out. Only club i strike it everywhere with no face control is driver. I struggle with the low shot with anything but a chip. I can hit stronger ball flight but still very high

Although I hit a decent power fade with the driver, I think I'm guilty of 'chasing' the ball in my set up rather than tilting more. My strike pattern is low centre. I'm going to try more tilt, a higher tee and look to hit the ball out the toe today.

I tend to hit it pretty much straight when I have my swing in sync when I try and smash one it tends to go right and keep going right. Also when I over think it and try and be precise with back swing and direction of the face it will hook ??

best for us yet

I can now draw it, but I started drawing when I solved my wicked slice, by calming the wrists down (literally wooden manning it), I also find lowering the handle helps.

Awesome vid. The point on golf being dynamic is such a good one. It's the source of so much frustration. "why was I hitting it so good yesterday? I'm not doing anything different". Watching this helps with the old sanity!!. One question, is the bit about the gear effect at the start specific to driver? Cheers lads, love the content.

Top 5 reasons a low HC player might consider GI irons instead of players irons? Played with a few scratch golfers recently who gamed GI irons instead of a players cavity and it got me thinking about my next set of irons (currently at a 8.2, gaming AP2 716's)

Wonderful video! Easy to understand also. Thanks!

How about a putting distance lesson as a struggle at times with judgement

Mark, would you explain what the feel and sound of a toe vs. heel shot is? As a newbie, I still struggle to have any sensation of what is happening.

Question for ya. How much if any does the ball you play factor in to shot shaping? You've shown us how you can still work the ball with forgiving clubs. Or better yet how about forgiving clubs with say Bridgestone e12 soft or Srixon Q star tour. I guess I should also clarify controlled shot shaping. I'm way better but every so often I can still slice anything off the course. Just curious

Fugedabout don't what about do🙀Top 5 reasons we duff a chip😜🏌 Cheers from NorCal

As a lefty, I have struggled with a hook this season. Indoor range indicates coming from the inside and a closed club face.

I struggle is hitting it strait Woods go right irons go left By varying amounts depending how bad I’m playing but their never both bad on the same day

Great video again. Love the science behind golf! Would say keep up the good work, but guessing that’s it for videos now you have made this one😂

I played with a draw (I say draw, more like a massive hook) from handicap 20-10 then earlier this year decided I wanted to play with a fade, so went to the range and hammered it out. Now I’ve come down to 5 and no longer loose balls, I’ve lost a bit of distance but that was never an issue for me. But now no matter how hard I try I simply can’t hit a draw any more, it’s the weirdest thing, like my old shape was a proper bubba boomerang draw and now I can’t even hit a tiny one. My draw swing now goes straight, which I consider a win as it didn’t fade 😂

Brilliant vid Mark. I'll be off to the range tomoz.

Good video and like the format and explanations good for thought!!!

Great info. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Does anyone else think Dan looks 10 years younger in this video! Great content 👍

Awesome vid, chaps! I just can't think of anything I can't do on a golf course.

Went to try a few drivers at garforth a few months ago. After a few swings the fitter showed me the reason I was fading everything. My swing path was zero but the face was open. He suggested lessons and practice rather than shelling out £400 on a new driver.

I can generally work the ball pretty well. The one that I just can't seem to do is that 2 or 3 times a year that I need to hit a big slingshot slice around a tree. I end up hitting it dead straight.

I draw, but really want to learn the fade. My current "fade" is a slice.

Draws, fades or anything in between is nice but all need it to do is fit more fairways!

Toe strike screaming duck hook is my arch nemesis. Only happens on par 5s that I need to cover ground on.

Mark , I am a toe striker . What drill do you suggest to move strike more to middle please ? Ps I have loft problems too - Lack Of F..... Talent ! 😜

I can shape most of my irons fairly consistently however I've always struggled with my driver with slicing it. Changed my grip to a stronger (really just slightly more than neutral; it was quite weak before) and now I mostly block my drivers. I was just thinking yesterday that I was probably cupping my wrist too much. I manage it with my irons pretty well but my driver seems to suffer still (I'm assuming that's because the irons have a negative attack angle and I'm trapping the ball which closes the face; just a guess). I'm going to hit the range tomorrow and try that drill where you DJ the wrist and then super cup it and hopefully I can hit my driver on target without hitting a draw that starts 5 miles right first. Cupping the wrist feels so natural and comfortable but I changed my grip to be stronger and overlap instead of 10 finger so I figure I can get use to not cupping with enough practice. Preciate y'all

you should do a video where Mark tries to hit zeros. zero path, 0.0 off center. ie: in the middle of the club, id like to know how many shots that takes, or how close someone can actually come.

Can I ask your advice on what you suggest as a drill to stop me flicking my wrists at impact, I struggle to stop myself and apparently am losing distance and getting too much height ?

I have a question. I see a lot of instruction that says to release the club. Tiger and Hogan seem to hit the ball with both hands. When I do this I smother hook the ball or slice it. When I try to use my hips and pull with my left hand I can hit the ball fairly straight. What say you?

slight fade on my driver and slight draw on my irons most of the time.

Brilliant

Mark : do you fade, slice, draw or hook? Me : yes!

The beginning of this had me absolutely dying... I just recently started drawing the golf ball and now I’m not sure what I should use as stock.. the chucking more when trying to fade 😂😂

Small fade generally. If playing and practicing then Small draw on irons and small fade with Driver. Miss is a pull which can on occasion (at least once a round) destroy a proper score!

Sorry can you explain another way why reducing dynamic loft reduces the chance of drawing the ball? I can sling a ball low round a tree by pushing the ball back in stance but not so easily a low cut..?

I found the easiest way for me is to close my stance, swing along the path of my feet whilst keeping my club face to target - so a closed face to path. Just the way I found to be able to do

Golf just happened. One of my favourite on course phrases when anyone hits a worldy....yeah...not said very often!😂...great vid..lovely thoughtful boffin stuff Professor Parfield 🤓👍👍🔔🔔

I have a problem with an over draw and occasionally a snap hook. It would be awesome to get a video with some tips for that.

PS some summary texts at the end listing the Top 5 Do and Don't points would be helpful

If I am playing well I have a nice 5 to 7 yard fade...if not...I am part of the locket army...left,right,left,right

Great vid.. How about the top five reasons for duffing chips?

id love to know how much your golf/your shots are affected by the state of the ball you are playing...ie brand new, slightly dirty, slightly scuffed/gouged, a well used ball, a cold ball, a Lake Ball etc....we’ve all found that ProV1 with a slight scuff & thought it’s a ProV it must be better than my new Supersoft!?

Brilliant tips 👍🏻

This takes care of everything, I guess. Clubs now on EBAY as I head down to the shop to browse tennis rackets. I struggle with draws as I tend to strike it more on the heel/center. Deliberately trying to strike between the center and toe, rather than just trying to strike the center (and dealing with whatever side you hit), shrinks the clubface in half, and if you (translation: *I* ) have inconsistencies in your swing (coming out of posture, etc.), the gripping fear of what can go wrong (toe shanks) starts to take over. At least now I belong to a club which includes unlimited range balls. 😂

THE GRIP IS MY KILLER i keep changing my grip. I have a memory like a goldfish . When I hit a great shot , iron or driver, I cant remember my set up and grip. So hard to be consistent and trust myself . I bet i'm no orphan LOL

I can do it all brah u now pro beginner golfer 🤘

Why don't drivers have more Bulge for higher speed swings like your's. For a slower swing speed could the bulge be exactly offset by the gearing?

I have a two-way miss. I'll put four drives down the center. Overdraw two. Then push fade two. In no particular order. As you can guess this makes figuring out where to aim very difficult, so I aim dead center and roll the dice. I would just like to have a consistent shape. I don't care if it's left or right. You know that no pro has ever honored my request to teach me how to intentionally hit a slice, right? My logic is that if I was trained how to do it that I'd know exactly what to avoid. It's counterintuitive.

im a natural fader as a lefty and draws are my struggle

Great vid 👌!

Fader and can only see a fade. Can on occasion hit a draw by changing foot position. Seeing a draw from me make me nervous. Predomimantly a heel strike player. Most of my practice is the gate/ball practice.

Struggle with low left pulls and hooks. My coach tried is trying to change me from a steep Shanker and slicer
