Tiger Woods' Coach Chris Como on How to Hit a Draw | Golf Lessons | Golf Digest

Watch how you can become a better ball-striker.

Transcript
Your golf ball is curving to the right.
Here are some things you can do to make sure
that you start to hit a draw.
First, we're gonna talk about your set-up.
I want you to feel like you have
your left side a little bit higher,
and a little bit more pressure on your left foot.
As you go back, I want you to feel as though
your right side is making a full turn back behind you.
That includes your hip and your shoulder.
That's gonna give you a little pressure on that right foot
that you can now drive your lower body forward
as you start down.
One more thing you wanna think about
is to get this club face slightly close to the club path.
The way I want you to, to work on this
is to imagine you have a watch on your lead arm,
and you're gonna point this watch away from you
throughout the backswing.
You should never be able to see the time on this watch.
It's always gonna be showing to your playing partners.
And then on the way down, the same thing will happen.
You're gonna be pointing the watch away from you,
coming down to impact.
And this is gonna help make sure that the club face
is slightly close to the path and all these things together
are, are a great recipe to hit nice, high draws.

With info like this, tiger will be unstoppable. I especially like the part with the watch

[bchenley]

Interesting. I guess it seems a little counterintuitive to have the wrist point away like that. My mind sees the clubhead being open the path... ?

[nickcampbell]

It's crazy how far golf instruction has come in the last decade or so. I wonder how different this video would be if Chris Como made a 'how to hit a draw' video TODAY. I have a feeling he wouldn't suggest keeping the clubface closed in the backswing, but rather to allow it to rotate freely, so that it can rotate freely in the opposite direction in the downswing.

[derspatero]

Maybe it works for pro's who hit solid fades, but an amateur who hits weak slices isn't closing the face enough and focusing on keeping the watch face away is only going to make it worse.

Like Foley before this guy opens his mouth he would make anyone throw up, why Tiger or any serious tour player entertains either in any capacity is baffling, their self ingratiating patronising consensual drivel is nauseating, with coaches of the calibre of Harmon, Haney and jim Mclean to name but three its neither wonder tour players form is so fickle listening to the garbage that spews from this pair even recreational golfers would tell them to go away in short jerky moves.
