In the past I hit a great draw all from feel unfortunately recent trackman knowledge has spoiled my game in my head and at best I push it or cut it when I try. The reason for all of this is I have learned a lot about the fact face angle at impact effects essentially 100% of initial ball direction and the following after is influenced by swing path. This is perplexing I used to try a stronger grip,or a little more release closing my stance it's all junk sorta.. It's crazy to think releasing the clubhead after impact does anything because it don't in fact the weird thing is your 5 wood face for example can be open 3 degrees right at impact and if the path is 6 to the right you get a nice draw,but the face is open no release.. It's messing with my head a bit sames goes for fade shots it's a plus minus thing and I feel this from knowledge and kinda just hit it straight no complaints,but I like the draw.
In a nut shell to hit a draw the face needs to be closed more than the path to the right to create an opposite spin axis reaction! You can do this by trying to close the face before impact which is probably what I used to do,or close the face at address which I don't like. Either way it's before impact the tighter the differential the less spin axis,to tight and it will just be a push kinda where I stand.
So what your thoughts on hitting a draw we know the science,but what do you feel to make it work?
