I have already mentioned the two points several times: the high draw, aligning to the right, and keeping the backswing top low. Now, there is just one thing left. It is how many times you actually practice starting the swing to the right in front of the ball.

Today, I will keep the explanations brief and focus on homework that you can use immediately.

01The starting direction is everything.

For a draw to be executed, the ball must definitely start to the right. If the ball starts toward the target, it is already close to a miss. If you are confident that the ball will curve to the left, sending it firmly to the right is the most important thing.

02You only need one reference point.

There is a method players often use at grass driving ranges when training overseas. It involves placing an alignment stick to the right of the target line and practicing launching the ball to the right of the stick. It is fine even if you don't have a stick. You can simply place an object that might be slightly visually distracting—such as a ball, a tee, or a plastic bottle—in a spot where the club cannot reach it.

Establish a reference point and check the starting direction
  1. Place it at least one step away from the ball.If you place it too close, you have to send it that much further to the right, which actually makes it harder.
  2. Start to the right of the reference pointWhen you first stand there, it feels so overwhelming that you wonder, "Do I really have to look this far to the right?" but you have to feel that for it to be standing correctly.
  3. If you succeed three times in a row, it's over.If you can't get the hang of it, try moving the reference point a little closer and try again.

03Today's homework

Place an object to serve as a reference point at least one step away from the ball. Then, if you launch the ball to the right of that object three times in a row, you have successfully completed the homework. By practicing this way, you will be able to send the ball a greater distance with the same amount of force. Let's master the high draw with this one homework exercise today.
