Charlotta Sorenstam: How to hit a draw

Charlotta Sorenstam: How to hit a draw

The Shack went on tour in January, and the first stop was the Reunion Resort in Orlando to get some tips from former LET and LPGA pro Charlotta Sorenstam...
 

While in Orlando for the recent PGA Show, NCG visited former LET and LPGA pro Charlotta Sorenstam at her sister’s former academy at Reunion Resort to ask her how to hit the perfect draw.

A lot of people try to feel it coming on the inside, but I try to work on the fundamentals. I try to aim the club face where I want the ball to finish.

I align my body where I want the ball to start. So it’s literally a closed club face how I grip it. But of course you can adjust that based on how much draw you want to see.

The most important thing is do not look at the club face and swing after that.

You must feel where your body is and swing after the body. Just like you would in a normal swing.

Charlotta then demonstrated in front of NCG’s resident pro, James Whitaker, exactly how she would play a draw shot. Afterwards they had a look at the Trackman results…

As you can see, with the face to path being slightly closed as her club path is more in to out that helps get that draw that she wants.

So remember…

  • Swing after the body
  • Aim the club face where you want the ball to finish
  • Align your body where you want the ball to start.
