How to Get a Draw with a Driver



golf channel streaming tv

You've likely wondered how to get the perfect shot with your driver if you are struggling to draw a draw. A driver setup is essential for hitting the ball and directing your swing path. It also compensates for the reverse swing after the low point. The ideal setup requires a close stance. Your lead foot should be slightly in front and closer to the ball.

Adjust your grip

A driver will help you create an upward strike if you get a draw. If you want to hit a draw, make sure that you are using your inside-to–out swing path. Close your eyes through the strike. If you can't get your club moving forward, you will need to slow down.

Adjust your alignment

Your alignment must be adjusted to the right in order to draw with a driver. A good alignment will allow the club face toward the target at contact. An alignment stick is a good tool to help you achieve this. This practice will help to understand the relationship between a closed-face and open-toed path. Next, you can improve your alignment. Here are some simple ways to correct your alignment and get a draw with a driver.


Move your upper body away towards the target.

If a golfer wants to score a draw against a driver, they should be able to take back their downswing at a slightly lower angle. If you take back too steeply, your swing path will not be shallow enough to create an inside-out path. Additionally, a steep backswing will make it difficult to flatten out during a backswing. This will help generate a draw. To initiate the backswing with the upper body, push the trailing hip back while not swaying toward the trailing side.

Rethink your position

To achieve a straighter, higher ball flight after hitting a draw with a driver you will need to adjust your position. To do this, rotate your stance towards the right and then close your eyes until your feet touch the line of the clubface. This will make the clubface open to your right and close to your stance. This can cause sidespin which is a right/left spin that is typical for a draw.

Adjust your clubface angle

Changing the angle of your clubface before impact is a key to hitting a draw. The angle of your clubface will determine how the ball begins, and how it ends. You should always check your clubface angle prior to impact and practice hitting draws with an alignment stick. If your driver is slightly flat, you can correct it by adjusting the clubface angle before impact.
