This exists because you are swinging the club around your body so it stands to reason that if the ball is forward in your stance the face will be slightly closed at impact. If your alignment is good, check your ball position and if it is too far forward set it further back in your stance and that should help.
How do I stop over drawing in golf?
As you swing towards the target, the clubface is closed, and your hand will turn over through the rest of your swing. To fix the issue, turn your hand more towards the target, in a neutral position. Make sure the V's between your thumb and index finger on each hand point straight up.
What causes a draw in golf swing?
What causes a golf ball to draw and fade? “A right-handed golfer hits a draw when their club path is out to the right and their face angle is closed relative to that club path at impact,” reveals TrackMan's Justin Padjen.
Why am I hitting a draw?
The main reason why a draw is useful comes down to the technical make up of the golf shot. To hit a draw, the swing must be attacking the golf ball from the inside with the club face open to the target, and closed to the swing path.
How do you control a draw?
In the back swing keep your club low and think about rounding your swing. On your downswing you want your wrist to naturally close the club face along the swing path. You also want the swing path to be right of the target. If you swing down through the path and the club face is closed a bit, you will hit a great draw.

Set the grip in the base of your fingers (below), not angled across your palm. If it's more in the fingers, you'll be able to swing freely and easily close the clubface in relation to your swing path. That's what you need to do to hit a draw.
Why am I hitting the golf ball left?
Downswing: The club might be swinging too much to left field at impact. Your left shoulder could be dropping too soon and/or your hips might be sliding toward the target, preventing the club from swinging back around to the right. Make sure your head doesn't move to the left in the downswing.
Why do I pull my short irons?
Pulling short irons is very common. Note that where the ball goes is always a combination of swing path and clubface position. When you are pulling you are swinging across the target line and with a clubface that is closed to your target line.
Why do draw shots go further?
Higher spin loft means more spin and a less efficient transfer of speed-producing energy to the ball. Higher loft and less ball speed produces less distance. And more spin means the ball will stop more quickly after it lands. The result: a draw will generally travel further than a fade.
Is it better to hit a draw or straight?
If you hit straight, you'll be safely in the center of the green, but a faded shot will land closer to the hole. If you regularly tend to spin the ball too much to the right (a slice), you may want to aim even more to the left. While drawing OR fading shots naturally is fine, you want to avoid doing both randomly.
Why is a draw better than a fade?
A draw can be longer than a fade because hitting a draw will lower the loft and the spin rates. Players that hit a draw will learn that the ball will release a bit more than a fade, and when it hits the green, it can be a bit trickier to stop.
How do I stop pulling my iron shots left?
If you are still pulling the ball something in your swing is causing you to wipe across the golf ball to create the pulled shot. To get the ball toward your intended target you need to hit the ball with a square clubface. To do this your club must be coming in from the inside of the ball, not over the top.
Why am I hitting my irons low and left?
Another reason you hit it low is that your club bottoms out too soon. You're probably trying to pick the ball off the turf. The bottom of your swing might be an inch or so behind the ball, but a tour pro's club is still moving downward a few inches past impact.
What is the best grip to hit a draw?
Use a strong grip.
In order to hit a draw: Place your left hand on the top of the grip, with your wrist turned in to your body, so that some knuckles are showing. Place your right hand below of your left hand, covering your left thumb, with the crease in your right hand angled to your right shoulder.
