i am 18 years old and have been playing consistent golf for almost four years. i swing hard and hit alot of balls with a fade since i was a little boy so i don't know what it is that i am doing to be hitting this draw can u tell me what i could do or what i am doing to draw i would apreciate all the help

Answer 1

Could be a million different possibilities.  

Hips and/or feet could be closed at address.

Possibly coming over the top with a closed clubface.

Too strong (not pressure, position) of a grip.

The list is endless, however those three are the most likely.  I would have to see your swing to determine the cause.

Answer 2

You are getting better because a draw beats a slice every time (draws have top spin which gets more roll), however once you get good you will learn to cut your irons because they stick better. A draw is generating from a better swing path usually, you will get an in-to-out shot which gets a draw.

Answer 3

Well in a nutshell your clubface has gone from open at impact to closed at impact.  How you achieved that could be any number of things from set-up, grip, swing plane, body position?  But you should be happy.  The draw is so much more asthetically pleasing and I feel a more solid hit.

Answer 4

keep your head down and make sure your not turning too quick on the down stroke. also keep a firm grip with your hands but dont let your arms tighten up.  hope this helps

Answer 5

You are probably getting your hands to turn over better at impact, and therefore becomeing a better ball striker.  

Embrace the draw, grasshopper.  It will serve you well.  

Answer 6

Hips turn too quickly.
