Is it true that to hit a draw you must setup with a slightly closed stance with your feet but club face square to your target versus the squared up stance that the RST fundamentals discuss as the basic stock straight shot setup?

Hello Gary. You don't necessarily have to close the stance to hit a draw. If the chest is quieter coming down the club will square up sooner regardless of the stance.

By quieter do you mean more relaxed upper body and proper downswing sequence with arms and chest getting moved by the lower body in the downswing.

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Gary. Yes. But, actually staying a few degrees closed at impact versus being square.

That clarifies things a bit. I was noticing that my club face was slightly closed at impact when I would pause at 9ish and then letting the club fall to impact. Seems that with my setup square, easy tempo and relaxed grip that the club comes down on plane and the face rotates a bit closed by 3:00 so I could only assume that what I was seeing when I pause was also happening at full speed. I thought that was incorrect... If plane is square and club face is still closed I will hit a draw and not pull it?

Hello Gary. The pull would usually happen with the release and the shoulders open(pointed left) or coming in steeply.

So square shoulders and slightly closed club face is good. Is that better than square shoulders and a square club face? What should my ultimate goal be? Is it easier or more preferable to hit a draw versus dead straight?

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Gary. Zeroed out on everything would be machine like. Coaches and engineers vary on this topic. Some like to have a few degree in to out and some with open face/closed etc because they feel a player needs to miss in some sort of direction. The goal is to zero out the plane and path as much as possible with square shoulders to eliminate variables.

I am feeling as though I am getting to a point where more and more the drills are feeling solid and the questions I have seem like they will be easier to answer on the range, observing ball flight. Is this something I will be better able to zero in on the range at this point? Once on the range should my goal be to try to hit shots that are a straight as possible or would it be beneficial to pick my desired stock shot and try to get consistent hitting that shot and then possibly proceed to experimenting trying to hit other shapes both to learn how to do that but also to increase confidence by understanding different shot shapes and being less afraid to hit a bad shot because I would know how each “miss” happens? I’ve always wanted to be able to hit a baby draw as my stock shot. Would that be an acceptable stock shot or is straight better?
May 11, 2021

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Gary. The typical stock rotary shot will be a slight draw, or draw bias. Once at the range you will be able to see more of what your swing is producing flight wise. The more the swing is dialed in the straighter the shot will be, but with lead release and good sequence a draw bias will be there.

I think Craig referred this video after my review but he did say a baby draw but the link he gave me points to a fade. Which is the correct one?

This was the end part of the link Craig referred to under the review 9-days-to-amazing-ball-striking/day-7-fine-tuning-your-fade. As you see it says fade there but think he wants me to look at the draw version.

When you were setting up for the Draw Shot, did you remain Square to the target line?

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Ron. When trying to hit a draw you shouldn't need much of a stance change.
April 6, 2018

Ron A. Sr.
Well, what change should I make?
April 7, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Ron. The stance should stay the same. What you are trying to achieve with the draw is a slowing down of the chest/body. This will allow the arms/hands to work through sooner to start closing the face. If you start changing you stance alignment and playing off target you are introducing new variables that can change path/starting line location.

Hi, Thanks for this great series of videos. I've been on rst now for a year, an hitting it way better, have seen my scores come down and this series really gives me the tools I need to progress further. So a big thank you. One thing I notice though is despite me hitting the ball much better with a better connection and flight. I don't take a diving hardly at all. Is this correct? Are there a series of videos I can watch about fivots and when to take on etc? They seem to always take one on tv from the fairway. Thanks

Hi Tim, I'm glad you enjoyed the ball striking video series. The divots should be very shallow. In fact, I've got a brand new series starting next week coming out that covers divots and the angle of attack specifically, so stay tuned!

Chuck do you change your alignment for the high draw when moving the ball slightly forward as in the "bomb your driver" video? thanks Terry

Hello Terry. When trying to hit a high soft draw you shouldn't need much of a stance change.

I struggle whenever I consciously rotate or turn my arms/hands over. I invariably come over the top and lose a lot of distance; I find if I ignore my hands and let the club naturally release I hit it quite a bit further. Are there any swing thoughts to deal with this?

Wyatt, please go back and watch the release videos, you never try and consciously rotate your hand over.

I'm only in the early stages in my RST journey, but these videos have been great for me, thanks Chuck. They've answered so many questions I've had about these different types of shots, and really made me see the importance of the release. Game changer. Thanks!
