Golf Shot Making Tips To Help You Shoot Better Scores

Learning how to hit a fade or a draw on command can be a useful weapon to have in order to play better and reduce your golf handicap. Becoming a shot making master can really make the game a lot easier. It is important to learn these shots as they are required in many situations when you are on the course. Here are some tips to help you learn these different shots:

The Draw Golf Swing:

Certain holes are shaped in such a way that hitting a draw increases your odds of making the fairway from the tee. Also hitting a draw is great with the driver when you are looking to get maximum distance since a draw golf shot usually travels a lot further and is effective against a strong headwind when it comes to hitting long drives in the wind.

The best way to hit a draw is to change your setup position slightly and move your right foot (right handed players) in a little so your feet are pointing to the right of the target. Then make a normal swing but focus on lower hand position in the finish. The idea is to get an inside to out path which will put draw spin on the golf ball.

The Fade Golf Swing:

If you find yourself behind some trees or some other obstacle and need to hit a pronounced fade in order to hit the green then the first step is to do the opposite to hitting a draw. Setup with the left foot slightly in and your feet pointing to the left of the target and then make a normal swing except focus on having a high finish.

The Hook Golf Swing:

Most golfer strive to cure the hook however there are instances when it can help especially to get out of trouble. Sometimes the only way to get to the green may be to hit a hook. Hitting this shot is similar to hitting a fade but just make sure the right foot is in even further and make sure your finish is even lower.

The Slice Golf Swing:

Again, the majority of golfers are in pursuit of curing their slice problem but getting out trouble may call for this shot to be deliberately executed. This is also similar to a fade swing but place your left foot in more and make an even higher finish.

The Punch Shot:

Hitting a low running shot is very useful for getting out of the woods when branches from trees prevent you from hitting a normal trajectory shot. To hit this shot simply use a lower lofted club and place the ball a little further back in the stance and then make a normal swing but make sure to have a low finish with the hands.

The High And Soft Landing Shot:

This shot is important when you are faced with hard and fast greens and need to stop the ball quickly. The key to this shot is to place the ball a little further up in the stance and then simply make a normal swing. This will encourage a greater upward blow to the ball which will launch it at a higher trajectory.
