If you've now established that your natural shot shape is a draw a right to left. Firstly for a lot of people that's congratulations because they want to see the ball move form right to left and the reason for that is generally speaking we got to hit the ball a little bit further with that draw but particularly you've got to consider that when that ball comes down and is drawing, it's probably going to roll a little bit further. So that's great of the t-shot when we want the ball to get down and get that ball rolling down the fairway. But we've also got to consider when we're playing the ball into a green, it might roll a little bit further as well when it lands on the green. Now it's not necessarily a bad thing we've just got to allow for it.

We just can't expect to fire the ball right into the flag and expect the ball to spin back ten feet. If you're shaping the ball, your natural shot shape is a right to lefter kind of expected to land on the green and just release up the green a little bit clearly depending on what club you're hitting. The other consideration you might have it with the ball draws your natural shot shape as you draw, is your ball is probably less affected by the wind. You won't find the ball really back spinning into the air too much in climbing and blowing around in the wind if your natural shot shape is a draw from right to left for the right hander. You probably see the ball is left affected by the wind and it has a slightly lower ball flight. And again, that's no bad thing we've just got to allow for that. One of the considerations when we're drawing the golf ball, is we might decide that we want to enter the right of target to let the ball draw in. Just be very careful that you don't aim too far right if the target particularly when there is hazards to the right. So if there's ponds and bunkers to the right hand side just don't aim too far right and expect the ball to draw in. Aim a little bit straighter when there's hazards down the right hand side and hopefully those three elements can help affect your draw shot out on the golf course. 2016-07-18
