I'll always love my draw. I never understood people playing a fade because 'it eliminates one side of the course', that's exactly what a draw does too. Plus you avoid that dreaded double cross that so many top players hit under pressure, and they go off the PLANET LEFT

A cut listens; hooks don’t

I have played a draw most of my life. It tend to curve more for me than a fade.

Hey Cristo, been following you since your first video after you visited Martin Ayers :). It's been incredible watching your journey and progression from that period till now. I too met with Martin personally around the same time frame and also had the privilege to meet Elk during the same visit and play a round of golf. (the guy is a golf legend and his historical knowledge of the game is incredible). I took a different journey than you and after doing a deep dive I had to bail and focus on my career and family, but now as I'm closing in on retirement, I'm dusting the cob webs off and revisiting the game and the swing principles that brought me results. Given your background in martial arts and a much clearer understanding of body movements it's not a surprise to see your progress. One of the things I've noticed over time with your swing is how it's becoming less manipulated with your hands during that moment of truth area (impact). I don't see the club face rotating nearly as much and it looks so much more stable. I'm sure you've analyzed this video in detail, but the biggest thing I see between your draw shot (6:24) and fade (6:33) is the orientation of the face on exit. On your draw shot around 6:24 when the club on exit is approximately parallel to the ground the club face is quite hooded compared to the fade shot where it appears still square on exit. This tells me that there's still some hand manipulation on the draw versus the free release of your fade. My assumption is that this is from embedded patterns when you manipulated the club more in the past. I've struggled with this myself and if you aren't offended by my suggestions, I would propose doing little wedge shots (and progressing to longer from here) with the draw set up and think more about a body releasing draw with quiet hands. The nice part about the fade/cut shot is that you can throw that right hand/punch as hard as you'd like and not fear the hook, but a draw has to be finessed. When I actually do it correctly, I actually don't even feel the club close. It feels like I leave the face open and produce the push draw with my body releasing. As soon as my hands jump in, it results in a pull or hook shot. Not critiquing or passing any judgement here, just one golf swing enthusiast to another making an observation and offering a potential solution. I'm hoping to participate in either a private with you (preferably) or join one of your clinics in the near future. I'd love to have a personal conversation about my journey and yours from the original Martin Ayers days to now. Cheers and keep up the phenomenal work you're doing.

I have been playing with alignment too great video

It's so important to have it!

Love your content and your swing. I'm still working on OTT but it's not easy because I already was prone to over the top to begin with. BTW, KJ Choi just won a big tournament in Korea playing against the best of the young guys. He's like 54. And he's an OTT swinger. I hope you cover his swing...if you haven't done it already.
