How to Draw the Golf Ball

2 min
Added on March 13, 2025
A draw, a shot that curves right-to-left for a right-handed golfer, is a great weapon to have in your arsenal. It allows you to curve your ball around trouble, attack tucked pins and hit lower shots that hit the ground and run. In this video, Titleist staff member Mark Blackburn shows how to hit a functional draw. By implementing Mark's adjustments to your setup, backswing and delivery into the ball, you'll be able to create to an in-to-out swing path. By keeping your club face slightly closed to this path, your golf ball will start right of your target and curve back to the left in a controlled and predictable way.
