Control the Shape of your Drives and Hit More Fairways

Wouldn’t you like to strike more fairways with your chauffeur? We all practice striking straight shots with our chauffeur as that is what we wish to do on the golf course. Unfortunately a great deal of our practice shots go left or right and even hooked or sliced. Even the pros have issues striking fairways from the tee box.

If you are ever going to succeed in striking more fairways you will need to find out the setup and swing that develops your draw or your fade. Practice those shots so that you can prepare to strike them on the course. When you develop self-confidence in those shots, you can setup for a left or ideal fairway shot to permit your ball to return to your target point near the middle of the fairway.

Bubba Watson had the ability to develop significant range with his extreme draw and fade shots however his video game has actually gone downhill since he was missing out on a lot of fairways and greens in policy.

In an SI Golf blog site, Dethier asks Mickelson what the distinction is in between striking a straight ball compared to a draw or a fade. Mickelson stated “It’s a feel thing. If I’m hitting a draw, I’ll let [my arm] release over. If I’m hitting a fade, I’ll get a little wider and try to hit the outside part of the ball; which slows down the release of the club. When hitting a straight shot, I’m just feeling the club go back to square.”

Translation: Phil might have the ability to feel his draw or fade however you require to setup to swing to affect the within back quarter of the ball for a draw and the outdoors back quarter of the ball for a fade. Setting up with a somewhat closed face will contribute to your draw and establishing with a somewhat open face will contribute to your fade.

He likewise highlighted “You won’t find a good ball-striker who doesn’t setup with a straight-line arm and club. You can return to that position (at a high speed), and feel yourself going back to square. If you start with your lead arm bent, there’s looseness. If you start there, you can’t go back to a certain point in the backswing, stop, and go forward. But if you start in a straight line, you can take it back and you’re in a position to go forward with your downswing. All good golfers will start with their lead arm straight. So I’ll start with a straight line going back, and then I’ll feel it cast back to a straight line [coming down] to impact.”
