To have the ability to hit a draw at will, will help you to become a better golfer and add a very important shot to your arsenal of strokes.
The whole idea of hitting a draw is to be able to control the flight of the ball through the air from right to left for a right-hander and visa versa for a left-hander. This is a great shot to use if you need the ball to avoid certain obstacles. So if the hole doglegs from right to left and you want to hit the ball around the corner then a draw is the perfect shot to hit.
"So how do I go about hitting a draw?" you ask. Well if you follow these steps it is actually quite simple.
1) Place the head of the club behind the ball and aim the club face directly at your target.
2) Align your feet in the initial direction you want the ball to travel immediately after the club has made contact with the ball. In other words align your feet aiming to the right of the target. Remember that the club face should still be aiming directly towards the target.
Now we come to the two most important steps.
3) Start your backswing normally as if you weren't intending to draw the ball, so your backswing should follow the line of your feet.
4) Swing through the ball normally, but at the point of contact you must roll your right hand over your left hand. This will help you to release the club head through the ball. All that is left is to complete your follow-through with a well balanced finish.
There are two contributing factors that result from executing the above steps correctly to get the ball to have sidespin. One factor is the difference between the angle of your body at set-up and the angle of the club face behind the ball. The other factor is the rolling movement of your hands at impact together with the angle of approach. They both give the ball the required sidespin to have it move through the air from left to right.
So I recommend going to the driving range and trying out the above. Just be forewarned. It takes a lot of practice to roll your hands correctly through impact, so don't lose hope if you don't succeed immediately. Keep trying. It all comes down to muscle memory and timing, which is crucial if you are going to be successful with this stroke.

You will find all types of golf simulators in the market. They come in various shapes and sizes. You would have noticed that some golf simulators are very cheap and are available for less than 10000$ while some cost more that 50000$. Have you ever tried to figure out why is there such a huge difference in the price when all of these simulators are meant for the same purpose of playing simulated golf. I will make things easy for you guys by pointing out the main differences.
Many enthusiastic golfers like to be out on the golf course everyday to either have fun or to keep their golf game in shape. But due to work or sometimes weather it becomes impossible to visit the golf course everyday. But this doesn't mean your game needs to suffer, there are many alternatives which can help you keep your game in shape
Every golfer knows that having the right irons in the bag is a vital part of improving their game and, as a consequence, those all-important scores. Whether it's getting that extra yardage and accuracy from the long irons on a meaty par five or having the feel needed to chip to within a couple of inches from the cup, better clubs can often mean higher levels of performance. It proved to be a bright day for Australian golf as Bryden Macpherson ended his country's 57-year winless drought in the British Amateur Championship.
So finally you have decided to get a golf simulator for your home. While most of the golf simulator companies would install it in your house for a very little extra charge, still if you are planning to install it yourself to save some extra bucks, you are at the right place. I will explain some common setup used to install your golf simulator. As you know not all simulators are same, so there might be a little changes in this setup which you can figure out yourself by going through the product manual.
The G20 driver has a heavier head than G15 for greater force at impact. Additional backweighting and a more elongated face shore up misses.
I've heard some pretty good players say that they thought the Ping K15 Driver was going to be too unforgiving for them to play. While the K15 Driver is not going to be confused with game improvement models (like the G15), players looking to be able to work the ball off the tee and who regularly find the fairway now should still be able to find it with the i15, as well.
Golf simulators have been in the market since decades. With the advancement of technology, there have been continuous improvements to the golf simulator to give more accurate and realistic game play. There is a continuous debate about golf simulators whether they improve your game or not. According to my personal experience the gap between playing on golf simulator and real course is decreasing day by day and I won't be surprised if huge golf tournaments start to happen on golf simulators instead of real courses.
