When it comes to shaping your golf shots, there's two things that are really important. One is you just can't go onto the golf course and decide, but you're going to hit a draw or a fade you would need to have practiced it. And number two is you need to use simple ideas to be able to make it happen in practice, and then take that confidence onto the golf course. So here's a couple of simple ideas on how to hit draws and fades.

Two alignment sticks the first one, I'm going to try to hit a draw. So I am going to set these alignment sticks in a runway around about 45 degrees to the right of where I want to hit the golf ball. Why do I want to do that exaggerated? Because what I want to feel is I want to see a visual while I'm feeling the idea that I've got the club swinging more to the right hand side. And as I rotate on the club face comes more round towards target. I can then see the ball in my mind's eye travel from right to left.
