Knowing When To Use The Draw Shot When Playing Golf (Video) - by Peter Finch

If you were lucky enough to be able to hit the draw shot after using these drills and feeling like you can shape the ball from right to left, the next question is when do you want to be using that shot shape because it’s not something that you should be pulling out time after time after time again. If you want to become a very, very good player, it is useful to be able to shape the ball both ways.

So all the type of situations you can be looking at when you want to be playing the draw. Now, there are other most obvious ones. So if you’re very tight, left on a fairway and the green is [tilt] around the trees that are left downside, you will need to shape the ball right in the trees before drawing it back around to get near the target. But it’s really more [indiscernible] [0:00:51] than that because you can use that draw for the extra burst of power. So if you're going downwind, then you want to produce that extra bit of power. You can go to draw setup, hit a high casting draw and get the ball tumbling down there. If you're faced with a shot where the pin is back left on the green and you want to start the ball in the center and draw it back to that pin position that is another example of how you can use that draw. If you’ve got the capability and you trained yourself enough to be able to hit the shot on command, it is noticed something that you should just hit time after time after time again. Unless you can do it so consistently, you're landing on a dime, then feel free, do whatever you want. But the whole point of golf is to be able – to be able to shape the shot, left and right, right and left, high and low when you want to. That is when you’ll know you’ll have an overall mastery of the game. So if that pin is left, if you want to hit that big draw, if you want to work it around the tree that is the point where you can use these drills to get good and activate that draw on command. Use it sparingly, use it wisely, and it can become a very good weapon within your game.
