Rx For Driver Draws

My goal is to be able to hit a big looping draw at will.
To accomplish your goal of being able to consistently Draw the ball, do this:
1. Close your Plane Line (10-5-E);

2. Aim the Clubface at the Target; and

3. Use a free Arm Swing to Trace the Closed Baseline in Start Up and Release.
All this is not simply Closing the Stance Line or 'aiming right' and then attempting to Trace a Square Plane Line, i.e., one that aims directly toward the Target. Instead, it is a deliberate alignment to achieve a true Inside-Out Stroke (as opposed to merely an Inside-Out Impact).

To give your Arms plenty of room to swing, the Body must Turn easily and the right Hip must 'clear' (in both directions). To help here, make sure your left Knee gets pointed slightly behind the ball fairly early in the Backstroke and that you allow your left heel to lift a bit. Allow the lowering of the left heel in the Downstroke to lead your Arms and Hands toward the Ball.

Finally, know what a good Finish position looks like and, from the Top of the Backstroke, swing there. Monitor particularly:
1. Hands location;

2. Left Wrist alignment;

3. Clubshaft position; and

4. Body position and Balance.
