The ONLY 3 Tips You Need to Hit a Draw with Driver in 2023

[@dh4399]

I never comment, however, I found this gentleman’s short video the other day, and now this one. Lifting the left handle totally changed my ball flight and overall distance. My index over the last five rounds has gone from 12.4 to 10. Every round broke 80 and one was a 74. I am 71 years old and just drove the ball 321 yards! Yes, that was exceptional but I’ve had a 307, several 290+ and more fairways. In addition, the only fairway wood I carry is a 4 wood. By lifting the left handle, I’ve added 20 yards to that as well. My playing partners love it and my best buddy who was getting one stroke is now getting five! I don’t know any of you, and you probably think this is bull, but I assure you it’s the gods honest truth. I’ve never been more happy with my golf game. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@mackgino]

Can you explain the # 2 “lift the lead arm to raise handle higher” move? Surely when both hands are in the handle then both lead AND trail arms are higher? Or do you rotate the lead arm? Presumably this changes club face alignment What am I missing?

[@MichealBacon]

This guy is one of the very few golf professionals on KZbin that I respect. And this segment 5:40 is the BEST piece of lesson and advice I've seen in a very long time on YT. Knowing these shoulder alignments and bringing it to practice is a game changer. Thanks for keeping it real, Todd.

Thank you! I can't wait to use these tips and hit a draw with my driver in 2023.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

You can do it!

[@davidweinstein2620]

Hi Todd. This is the best tip via video about driving-hands down. The only question I have about it is that I find myself pushing the ball, i.e. a straight and powerful shot to the right that doesn't draw back. Especially when I hit hard. A pro said that this tip made me take the club too much inside, especially the right elbow. How do I avoid this push? Keep up the good work. If you didn't live that far from me, I'm in France, you would see me at your doorstep for lessons.

[@allanpatrick4105]

Allan Patrick - New Brunswick Canada Todd: I've read "the Bad Lie" many times and reviewed the VLS videos countless times. Tempo has always been my issue and if quick at all from the top my focus on the ball is lost and I come out of the shot. After several very bad rounds I took a few days off and got to the crux of the problem. Transition and the beginning of the downswing are hard things to describe, even in your book. What I have found with the recent range time has helped immensely. I make sure I get to the top, and let traansition drop the club followed by gradual increase in club speed, never too fast to pull me off the ball. I can now keep focussed on the ball, and by the time the club gets to parallel I can drive through to finish. This has been a massive revelation, only possible with all the VLS setup and positions grooved in. Now I feel I am truly able to use what I've learned from your book and videos. Excited!

[@paulgrobar7098]

I've had pretty good mechanics, occasional draw, often straight, too often fade. After all these years of playing, these swing-path hoop demonstrations made me realize a fade/slice is not a bad swing, just the natural mechanics of a forward ball placement. Anyway, I tried the high hands tip, and that alone changed my ball flight. Now I have something to work with this summer. Thanks Tod!

[@ruffrider5100]

Excellent content. I’ve been struggling with a fade leading into a slice on bad shots forever (62 now). The last few weeks I’ve been doing pretty much what you’ve described and I’m seeing a lot more drawn drives. Yesterday playing a local course, I drew every single ball and hit every fairway except two, and they were only just off. Came in with a 77…best ever! Boom!! 💥

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Awesome! You are learning and making progress, nice work! We do cover the entire Vertical Line Swing in our book THE BAD LIE which you can find on Amazon if you want to continue your learning.

[@cyrillincoln]

This is the best video I have seen on how to hit the driver. Only found this video yesterday, and I tried this at the range last night - I simply could not believe the results! I'm finally whipping the ball rather than steering it with my arms; it feels effortless and I gained at least 60 yards, consistently. A bit more practice required to gain confidence to do this on course, but this is the advice I have been looking for, for a very long time. Lifting the left hand on setup, then keeping the club head above the hands on takeaway ensures the natural transition to the inside and then raising the shaft to point outside the line on finish, are key swing thoughts for me, rather than constantly worrying about turning over the hands at impact, which is so hard (impossible) to do, if the clubhead is too low on takeaway, as demonstrated in the video.

[@andyd_9]

I'm still not hitting a draw with my driver, but I am driving it straight and much farther than I have since I started playing again (10 year hiatus). I have gone from weak 200 yard slice drives to a 240-260 yard drives. I also watched your video how to draw your irons and am now hitting a slight draw on my irons. Before I implemented these 2 videos I was a bogey golfer in my league...my last 9 hole round was 2 over 37! Thanks for the videos! They have helped tremendously.

[@darakjamal]

Stumble on this video. This probably the best swing breakdown I’ve seen online. One question, are there any modifications for hitting a draw with a hybrid or iron? I’m assuming the lead arm would go back down and not tilting to hit up on the ball.

[@mikemcsweeney2993]

Todd, great tips! Lucas KY here. I've used the toe tip flare for improved balance...and confidence during my swing. You also had a tip to close the stance a tad to get a draw. So after getting my alignment to my target line, I rotate a couple degrees to the right. Low ànd behold, I can now see my club head square to the ball! With the club head at rest about three inches behind the ball, I'm now swinging up as I make contact and square with the club face. + 20 to +40 yards, much better run out, and finding more fairways! Your tips and teaching make sense, are practical, and deliver results! Thank you!

[@allanpatrick4105]

Allan Patrick - New Brunswick Canada A challenge for me is tempo. It's the critical point at the top when I pause and then the acceleration through impact should begin. When it works all is fine. When I lost the feeling of the top, the arms start down too quickle, pulling me off the ball and a whole range of mishits occur. Any tip on transition? Would be a grest help to me.

Todd, I have many times had the High draw finish but lately, I am still struggling with my drives, left And right. Yesterday, I hit only 3 fairways.

[@jameshanson7608]

Have read your book, The Bad Lie, and have tried VLS at indoor range with very good results. In book you talk about dropping hands in transition, while keeping your hips and shoulders slightly closed. Is this a swing thought to start transition to promote inside to outside swing and draw ball? Highly recommend book. The freedom of arms in swing is going to make me a better golfer. Waiting for snow to melt to get outside.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

James, thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the book. Yes, the freedom of the arms to move is vital to most all golfers. We like a slightly closed stance to promote the high draw. Appreciate you posting...hope you left us a review on Amazon!

[@daviddeliz3648]

One last question, what position should the driver face be when addressing the ball? In alignment with the feet (slightly open) or square to the fairway?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Face should always be square to the target line, good question.

[@brianjohnson8918]

Interesting about the lead arm @ address, never heard that before. To get the lean I take my RH grip from down near the knee.

[@markvreeland6315]

Hi Todd, Mark Vreeland from Chesterfield, MO. I just watched the driver draw video and I understand what you were showing and explaining but for all the time that I have been playing I have always hit a cut or fade. I can start the drive down the left side of the fairway and have the ball fade back to the middle or middle-right. Seldom do I hit a horrible slice unless I get my hands way out in front. I will try your recommendations next time I go to the driving range to see if I can get the draw working. My question to you is regarding the fade - in my set up; I tilt my right shoulder down normally by holding my driver out in front and then slightly tilt my shoulder to the right. The fade is still there. If the fade isn’t there then the ball goes rather straight - sometimes straight left and no fade. When that happens I am leveling off my shoulder? Let me know what you think. Thanks for all the great content. Look forward to hearing from you.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Mark, if you have good ball control don't be afraid of the fade, if it aint broke, don't try to fix it. Not a big fan of level shoulders with the driver as we like to hit up on the ball when possible. A slight tilt to the shoulders promotes this motion. Hope that helps...

[@JoeMcConohy-kt8vg]

Todd could you do a video how to fix a blocking shot. I know why it happens, the club face is open. How does a person fix it? I really enjoy your videos. Thank you

newer golfer here from Atlanta - 73 yrs old -- when setting up with a slightly open stance do you square your hips and shoulders with your feet or with the target line?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Excellent question Steve, when you close your stance slightly relative to the target you will also have your body shift slightly closed. Here is the key though: your club stays square to the target line, not to your body. Here is another video on hitting a draw we did recently to help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4SUeJ2Aq9iKhdE Hope the info helps, thanks for watching!

[@kensharp1630]

My comment is not about hitting the draw but came to mind watching this video. My question revolves around where the hands are in the back swing with the vernicle line swing. With the VLS my initial thought was bring hands high on the back swing. I noticed in this video that your hand are near or below the level of your shoulders. So drawing a line from the ball to your shoulders and one to your hips, the hands are between the two lines. Can you comment on the position of the hands at the end of the back swing and the impact this has on your swing and ball impact. Thanks ken

[@brettcornelison2599]

Thanks Todd...been really struggling transitioning the VLS to the driver. I think this will help tremendously. Also, do you think the more vertical aspect of the VLS is more conducive to shorter driver length? I have found since working on the VLS that I have to choke down on the club to make center contact.

Enjoying your videos. I have a request for a video or a series of videos. I'm basically self-taught from books and articles years ago. But I have taken a few lessons and I'm watching videos now a days. My wife (66 years old) is trying to learn golf - 2 or 3 years. So far I have not been able to get her to take lessons. She wants me to help her (by the way, it is a bad idea to every try and teach a family member). I really don't know enough about what I'm doing and she has issues to deal with that are not the normal for the average golfer. So far I have not been able to find videos or articles addressing these. Hope you can help. 1. She is short and stout - 4'11". 2. She has erosive osteoarthritis very bad in her back and hands. 3. Her fingers / knuckles look a lot like rheumatoid arthritis. 4. Because of the arthritis she does not have a lot of strength in her hands and does not get a lot of rotation. 5. She has large breasts that get in the way. What we have done to try and help is: 1. She wears Bionic ReliefGrip Golf Gloves on both hands. 3. She uses a baseball grip as she cannot interlock or overlap without pain. 4. We have oversize grips. 5. She wears a velcro waist band while playing. If you could work in a series of lessons all the way through driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, short irons, basically everything; I think you would address an audience that probably needs help.

Hi Todd. Great video. I have played baseball most of my life and most recently squash. I dabbled in golf off and on and now that I am retired I want to play more and get better at it. Played only four or five times a year. The VLS swing intrigues me because just like a bat or even squash raquet you bring it up high around the shoulders and not low around the back. I have just got your book and have read it. My question is you say to use the overlap grip . I use the 10 finger grip. What little I play I know I am a slicer. Should I switch my grip. From great white north Canada.

Should you aim for the left inside corner for a right-handed golfer, or should you aim to at the back end of the ball? When trying to use your technique for a draw.

Is your tee height a 2 3/4" or a 3 1/4" ?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

3 1/4

Our pleasure. This is my favorite drill for increasing the hip turn which is key for the driver in our experience kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJLYZGd8r6mlY9ksi=A9VaiNL4EcVOA5w2

I can not seem to hit the Maxvert consistently at all. It seems to hook often, where as my old Maltby does not

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thanks for the question. Make sure the clubface is not closed at address. This can happen if the "fairway finder" is aim left.

[@kencmyoung1]

great tips, thanks!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KoryGoral]

I have tried this today at the driving range. The last 30 balls I hit were all draws. Sometimes I have to much draw and low flight. Sometimes the ball starts way right and then draws back. I just have to figure out what I am doing with those shots? This is the first time in 40 years of golf that I was able to draw the ball consistently. I am a give me steps to set up type player when setting up to hit the ball. This is great. 1 step at a time for set up.

Great tip! I snapped the first few drives......I think I have the slight draw semi-down pat! Thanks!

When the ball is above your feet you hit a draw naturally. Is there a way to tee the ball up to mimic that scenario?

[@arielluna4399]

Can't wait for tomorrow 👏👏👏👍

That’s three videos I’ve watched each giving different advice!!

[@ahkau4612]

No change to tee height?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

@@ahkau4612 if anything tee it slightly lower

[@dirtywheeler5534]

How far should you place your left foot ahead of your right foot.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Really depends on the club and body style. In general, shoulder width is standard for a driver for most golfers. Hope that helps…

Great vid

Much appreciated, hope you are enjoying the channel 👊

I’m left handed only been playing 6months when I hit the driver it goes straight but at about 80 yards it starts going left way left sometimes by about 70yards left then I can do another shot and it don’t go as left???

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Barry, have you watched this video we did? It will help, see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYbdi2eZo8qIp8ksi=ELIxcTKesrs0cmxF

[@oliverknaus4630]

These adjustments enhance my slice

[@oliverknaus4630]

Actually when I kept the high hands at address and wide take-away (but tossed the handle point follow through and de-emphasized the back shoulder being so low) I got something out of it.

[@oliverknaus4630]

No, no, I was right the first time. Awful push slice doing this

[@oliverknaus4630]

Just effing awful. Worse and worse every time with this. Hilarious industry

[@heatgrimm8664]

@@oliverknaus4630Oliver feel like you’re skipping a rock from your right hand. Use that to drive the path in to out and hook the ball. Then open the face enough to eliminate hook. It’s EASY.

[@scoobs22]

Do you close the club face at all?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Yes, keep the clubface square to the target line. You can learn more www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@jackhelfrich6176]

I’m Jack from Gilbert, AZ. I’ve watched this video several times, and I’ve implemented the slight raise of my lead arm during setup. However, when you move on past the setup to the takeaway, and eventually to the full swing, your setup does not include raising your lead arm. When move to the takeaway, I cannot see your lead arm because it’s blocked by your trail arm, unlike when you’re demonstrating the setup.

[@ilanmosery]

You didn’t mention where the club should be aimed to (to the right or target) and where to hit the ball? Inside, back etc?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Good question. Clubface should be pointed at the target at address

[@markdavies3489]

Not much cop to a golfer like me who has a very strong grip (Paul Dolman HSS grip) and uses the HSS (starting weight on the left side and arms and club on the same axis)😅😅😅😅
