How to Hit a Big High Draw with Your Driver

TLDRLearn how to hit a big high draw with your driver by adjusting the tee height, improving your takeaway, sequencing the downswing correctly, and positioning the ball off the inside heel. This will help you achieve a straighter, longer, and more controlled shot.

Key insights

😎Adjusting the tee height can determine the angle of attack and provide greater loft, resulting in a higher draw shot.

🔄A proper takeaway, starting the club straight back, can help produce the desired swing path for a draw shot.

💪Sequencing the downswing correctly, with the legs, hips, torso, shoulders, arms, and club moving in that order, can promote an inside-to-out swing path.

🎯Having a slightly open club face at impact, with the club path more into-out, can generate the desired draw ball flight.

Positioning the ball just off the inside heel can help shallow the angle of attack and give the club face time to square up for a high draw shot.
