Questions & Answers Responses from PGA/LPGA Teachers on FINDaLESSON.com                                                                                  << BACK From Richard, golfer: I have recently got back into golf after a good 6-7 years off. As a junior I drew the ball with most clubs and struggled to hit a driver. Now I am hitting irons very straight and driving the ball with a slight fade but frequently a push-slice comes into play. I would like to get back to drawing the ball with both. A friend thinks I don't transfer my weight left-side (i am right-handed) on the downswing. Could his be causing my lack of draw? PGA/LPGA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL RESPONSES: California "Richard, the lack of spin to draw the ball should be traced back to the club face position at impact. Do something to influence a draw spin. Things must be closed as opposed to open in the set up to create a draw spin. Close the face of the club in your grip before the swing to prove the principal and swing at a slow speed. Put down some rulers or straight edges to get an accurate view on a square club face. Send me a message directly for more help. Good luck." - Mike Davis, Teaching Professional Pennsylvania "Richard, You really don't have a workable problem unless you exhibit the problem a large percentage of the time...say 4 or 5 out of ten shots. Fairways and greens are usually 30-40 yards wide, so if you get within that area rejoice. We really shouldn't complain about the color of the apples in this garden of Eden." - Bob Sheppard, Teaching Professional South Carolina "Lack of weight transfer through the ball at impact can cause a fade or slice. It can also cause a big hook if you try to compensate by over rotating the hands. Try stepping into and through shots on the range, like a baseball player would hit a ball. This will exaggerate the weight shift.  Also, make sure that you can balance all of your weight on the front leg (your left) at the finish of your swing. The right foot should roll to the tip of the toe, like a ballerina getting to her toes. The back foot should not be on the ball of the foot holding or supporting weight. Holding this position for a count of ten as a drill should help your body understand where the weight should be at the finish of your swing. Let me know if I can help in the future." - John Hughes, Teaching Professional South Carolina "Could be Rick! Might want to check the ball location as well. If you will notice tour players position it in front of their left cheek for full shots. Best luck!" - Michael Lucas, Teaching Professional
