Rob Watkins from Rudding Park is here to help you learn how to hit different golf shot shapes depending on the pin position you are faced with.

Before thinking about the shot shape you need to hit, you need to know how to actually execute that particular shot.

To hit the draw you need a club path of in to out, and for the fade, out to in…

Targets are hugely important

When you are hitting a draw or a fade you have more than one target. You have the pin as a target, a club face target, and your body target as shown in the graphic below.
