How to hit a draw shot in golf


Make sure you don’t go overboard and develope a hook

A draw, or hook, shot starts right and then curves left. Use it when a direct shot at your target is blocked, for example on a dogleg hole or if you need to curve the shot around some trees that are in the way. The draw is more of a subtle curve than the hook, which is very strong and often end up in the rough unless you did it deliberately and calculated it into your aim. The draw starts off pretty straight and then starts to fall off to the left. A draw shot makes the ball roll further when it lands because it puts a forward spin on the ball.

Note that these steps are intended for right-handers – reverse them if you’re left-handed.

  1. Set up your golf shot with your usual alignment and grip.

  2. Adjust your feet to aim to the right of your target. The angle of your feet depends on your individual swing and desired results, and can range from 5 to 45 degrees. Try 10 to 15 degrees to the right to start.

  3. Aim the club face directly at your target and use your normal grip.

  4. Swing normally.

  5. Resist the temptation to turn too soon and watch the ball’s flight.
