Some holes force you to adjust your ball flight from the tee box.
But if the tee box calls for a draw and you hit a natural fade (or slice), things can get hairy.
You don’t really want to dramatically change your swing dynamics—especially if you’re hitting the ball well off the tee.
So what do you do? Knowing how to hit a quick draw comes in handy in situations like this:
Below are five keys to this shot:
- Take your normal address position
- Adjust your feet slightly to the right
- Make sure the clubface is square to the ball
- Swing from inside to outside on the target line
- Finish the shot in balance
The key here is to keep the shot simple. Don’t try to do too much contrary to what your natural swing is.
If you do, you could get out of sync altogether. And that could cost you strokes.
Take your normal address position with the ball forward in your stance.
Adjust your feet slightly to the right. And pick out an intermediate target.
Also make sure you square the clubface. Many golfers fail to do this.
You’re going to need to adjust your swing path as well.
You have to come from inside to outside on the target line on your downswing.
Keep in mind that your swing path relative to your feet/body position remains the same. Finish in balance.
Shifting your feet slightly to the right and coming from the inside on your swing path are key adjustments.
But it’s imperative you keep your clubface square to the ball as well. If you forget to do it, you’ll mishit the shot.
Keeping everything simple means you don’t have to change your natural swing dynamics.
And when you’re hitting your natural shot well, that’s the last thing you want to do.
Learn to hit a quick draw and you won’t have to.

What did you mean by ..”come from inside to outside on the target line on your downswing”..?
For a right hander, does it mean going from left to right through the target line, or right to left? Inside to outside can be interpreted as going left to right and this would lead to a fade, wouldn’t it?
Would the advice not be adjust your feet slightly to the left so that the ball is a bit back in your stance ?

In the above article regarding hitting a quick draw, you indicate one must swing from inside to outside. I am relatively new to the game….I thought an inside to outside swing was what we were supposed to do normally?
Please clarify. Except for this, it is a great tip.
Thanks,

It’s not a question of what your normal swing path is. It’s a question of how you want your ball to move. It’s extremely hard to hit a ball dead straight consistently.
Many golfers favor a draw because they prefer the right to left ball path. They want the extra yards they often come from hitting a draw. But not every situation requires a right to left ball flight.
So If you want your ball to move from right to left, your swing path must go inside to outside (draw). If you want your ball to move from left to right, your swing path must go from left to right (fade).
A key difference is the adjustment to your stance. If you set up with your feet parallel to your target line, you’d have to turn your hands over during impact to hit a draw.
But if you set up with a closed stance, you eliminate the need to turn your hands over. The change puts your club on the right swing path to hit a draw.
Some golfers also like to move the ball back a bit in their stances.
You’re best bet is to go to a driving range and experiment with these adjustments, alone and in combination. Once you find what works for you, stay with it.
Thanks for the questions,
