What swing path is a draw?
Drill 2: Control the swing path A draw requires an ‘in-to-out’ swing path. Most players who hit a slice have the common fault of ‘coming over the top’ as they start the downswing. This is where the hands trail the shoulder as the sternum moves forward to cut across the ball.
What is a good club path angle?
“My preference is to see club path numbers within a +/- 3-6 degree range, depending on whether the golfer wants to play a fade or draw. With a club path of zero, the slightest negative face angle will create a negative spin axis and curve the ball away from the target.
Does a draw go further than a straight shot?
Why does a draw go further? “Techically, it doesn’t,” says Padjen. “Provided the ball speed, launch angle and spin rate are the same, a draw and fade will carry and roll the same distance.
How is club path measured?
CLUB PATH. Club Path = yellow line in the left/right direction relative to the target line. To measure the Club Path angle (in/out), the club path is projected onto the X-Z plane (i.e. the ground) and the angle the club path is measured against the path of swinging straight through the ball.
What should spin rate be for a 7 iron?
So if you are using a 7-iron, your backspin should be around 7000 rpm. If it is well below this (at around 5000 rpm), you will struggle to get the flight you need to stop the ball on the green. As equipment manufacturers strengthen the loft of their irons, this is a very important number to keep an eye on.
What is the best grip to hit a draw?

Place your right hand below of your left hand, covering your left thumb, with the crease in your right hand angled to your right shoulder.
Can you hit a draw with a weak grip?
Why can’t I hit a draw? You can’t hit a draw for one of several reasons: path, grip and club face. If your grip is too weak or you swing with an ‘over the top’ path, it is likely you will hit a slice instead of a draw. If your club face is open at impact, this will also make it very hard to draw the golf ball.

How does the angle of the clubface affect the swing path?
If the angle of the clubface matches the angle of the swing path at impact then the ball will shoot straight forward. However, because an outside-in swing will be aimed to the left of the target, this combination of factors will produce a pulled shot, i.e., a straight shot to the left of the target.
What is swing path in golf?
The way the golf club crosses the target line at impact – as well as before and after – is defined as the swing path and it can vary across three different types. They are explained below.
How do low handicap golfers hit draws?
Low handicap players rarely create a flat backswing and steep downswing. Hitting a draw requires the club face slightly closed in relation to the club path. Therefore, the club should be traveling slightly in-to-out across the target line with the club face slightly closed.
