How do you hit a draw?

Drawing Woes

It's been said that the perfect golf shot is a Draw, eight yards from right to left. However, the average golfer doesn't have the time to put in on the range to create a consistent draw pattern. With the right amount of practice, these few tips will allow golfers of all skill levels to experience the thrill of hitting that perfect draw.
The best part about these draw tips is you don't have to alter your grip or your swing. The first thing you always want to do is pick out your target and line up as if you were to hit a straight shot. When you feel comfortable with where you are aiming, try closing your stance as if you were to hit the ball ten feet to right of the pin (left of the pin for left handers). This will create a natural tendency to come across the ball, in turn creating a counter clockwise spin. Take a few normal swings to see how it feels. If you need to, while aiming at the target with a slightly closed stance, line the ball up on the toe of your club head. This will also create more spin to shape your ball from right to left.

Hi, I've been playing for 13 months and feel that hitting the draw is not that hard. If one is hooking, then it could be the result of trying to hit it straight or (pulling to the left). What I've understood now is that I've got to have impact square and to the right of my target to prevent hooking. this took lots of trial and era. By learning the draw shot, I've went from a score of 94 to 83 in one year. I've read all the tips and practiced for hours learning this shot. If one thinks about, try driving the ball and releasing the ball to right field. The release is very important, as well as ball position. I play with a little back in the stance. Also close stance would be perferred, however, being square is just as good. Hopes this helps.
