Hitting a towering draw comes naturally to Jordan Spieth but the same can’t be said for the vast majority of amateur golfers.

Spieth has achieved huge success on the PGA Tour over the last decade with 13 wins to his name including three major championships.

The 32-year-old American is well known for excelling when he has to be creative but his stock shot is moving the ball from right to left.

Now maybe you will be able to do the same by learning from some key golf tips from the three-time major winner.

Spieth showed encouraging signs last season, despite his struggles in general over the past few years he’s clearly confident that he will rediscover his best form soon.

It was only a few months ago when Spieth insisted he still hopes to return to number one in the world at some point in his career.

Despite his lack of form recently, he still has so much wisdom to offer.

Jordan Spieth’s tip to help amateur golfers hit the high draw

Spieth’s advice regarding the best way to hit a high draw revolves around shortening up your swing in order to allow you to be aggressive through impact.

“I’ve got to take a little bit off, so I’m going to do that by using a three-quarter motion,” he says. “Then I’m going to try to be just as aggressive into the ball as I would be on a full one [swing].

“Swing speed will drop down because my range of motion is shorter.”

“What I’ll be doing to hit it high then is, I’m actually letting a little bit of this deloft out. But I’m doing it late,” Spieth says.

“I’m not trying to throw it out of here, which is a big left thing. I’m bringing it in still with a lean (forward lean), and then I’m just letting that loft to catch up ever so slightly.”

“That face stability will still be there, because it’s already done ahead of time,” he adds.

“You know, it hung about five yards right; which is, honestly, what I was explaining,” he says. “If anything, it has draw spin, it’s working towards the hole, and it never crosses over the hole.

“If you start training that way, it’s so much easier to play the game, because you’re missing on the fat parts of the greens.”

Pros and cons of hitting a draw vs a fade

Most amateurs dream of being able to hit that towering draw with their driver and their irons.

And there are undoubtedly benefits of having that shot in your locker.

Firstly, hitting your driver and irons with draw spin will provide you with extra distance. However, it is much harder to control a draw than a fade.

When you hit a fade, your ball comes down softer and stops quicker once it hits the ground, usually meaning that you won’t roll into trouble as often as those who hit a draw do.

The key to really improving is actually getting to a stage where you can move the ball both ways, especially if you have grand designs of getting down to a single-digit handicap.

By all means stick to one shot shape that you’re confident with, but there will be times when you have to move the ball in the opposite direction to your natural shot.

Being comfortable with hitting a draw and a fade will obviously require a serious amount of practice, though. So if you’re a mid-high handicapper, just get comfortable with one shot shape and stick with it, rather than trying to fight it.
