Why this drill

What this drill fixes

Curvature — draw, fade, slice, hook — comes entirely from the face-to-path relationship at impact. Once you understand and feel this, you can reduce unwanted curve, eliminate your big miss, or learn to hit a reliable draw or fade on command. Curvature drills make the ball flight a choice instead of a surprise. Part of TeeBetter's Curvature training.

COACH TIPS
  • Start direction is mainly influenced by clubface angle at impact.
  • Toe strikes tend to start more right and curve left (right handed golfer)
  • Heel strikes tend to start more left and curve right (right handed golfer)
  • Curvature is caused by the size of the angle between clubface at impact and the path of the club. The larger the difference the more a ball tends to curve.

FAQ

Common questions about Curvature drills

How do I learn to hit a draw?

A draw comes from a swing path that's more right of the face at impact (for a right-handed golfer). Curvature drills like Curve From the Line and Curve to the Line train you to feel and control the face-path relationship so you can produce a draw — or any amount of curve — intentionally. Score against par so you know when you're making real progress.

How do I reduce the amount my ball curves?

Excessive curve (slice or hook) comes from a large difference between where the face points and where the club swings. Curvature drills build awareness of both variables so you can reduce the gap and straighten your ball flight. Once you understand the face-path relationship, you can dial curve up or down on purpose.
