To hit a low draw is one of the longest shots in golf. A low draw bores through the wind and runs when the fairway is hit. Release the forearms to hit low golf draw shot.
To be able to hit a low draw can really help lower your golf scores on the course. Not only will you gain extra length off the tee with long low raking drives, but you will also be able to negotiate hazards that would normally be in between you and the hole.
How to Hit a Low Draw Stance
- The most important part of hitting a low driving draw shot is the ball position. The ball must be back in the stance towards the right foot. This means the swing arc is coming down into the ball and will drive the ball out on a low trajectory.
- Depending how low you want to hit the ball, apart from the ball position, put more weight onto the front foot and have the hands slightly in front of the ball.
- Normally in the golf stance your right shoulder is lower than your left. To hit the ball low try to keep the shoulders level when you stand to the ball. This will encourage a positive downward blow onto the ball.
How to Hit a Low Draw - Swing
- The most important part of the swing, when attempting to hit a low draw, is the release. The low draw is a specialist shot and if you are struggling to draw the ball normally it’s best for you to learn the basic draw first. But if you normally hit a draw it is the way you release the club that is responsible for the low trajectory.
- As the club comes into impact from the inside, rather than the hands releasing the club and doing most of the work, for a low draw it is the forearms that rotate and release.
- In a normal release the hands whip the club past the arms, but to hit a low ball on the draw the forearms rotate through impact as a unit, there is very little independent hand action, it is the whole arm that rotates and closes the blade.
- The difference between a normal draw and a low draw is the same as the difference between a tennis shot and a squash shot where the hands and wrists are used much more. A low draw is like a tennis forehand where the arms and body do the work.
- As a final tip try to keep the club head close to the ground for as long as possible after hitting the ball.
