This is a video of Luke Kwon, one of my high school students. He's practicing playing a low draw. It's a shot necessary for the golf course but more important, he's practicing it to improve his ball flight. Luke has a history of hitting shots high and to the right. He's got some technical things to work on but the image of him playing a low draw helps him straighten out his ball flight.
The mistakes that lead him to the high right shot are:
- A backswing that gets too long and laid off. The result is having to turn into the shot with his right shoulder.
- A clubface that gets closed and the result is a block.
- A block impact which forces him to pull his arms and upper body through resulting in a finish that wraps around him.
- When the club gets laid off at the top of the backswing, his tendency is to bring the shaft down too steep leading to a blocked impact.
This might seem like a lot. The mistakes are small and add up to his history of hitting it high to the right. With all this being said, Luke is one of the top ranked players in the City of Dallas. He can really play. Check out the video.
