WATCH: How to hit a draw using a “diagonal” stance
In this week’s “Wisdom of Golf” video, I discuss a simple way to work the golf ball — or how to hit draws and fades in other words — with better control. I also talk about ball position, “planing wood,” and I provide a one-legged drill that you should find useful in your next practice session. Enjoy!

Like Jordan Spieth, trying to go to a bowed wrist at the top or in the downswing to square the club is placing you in a dangerous position for your lead wrist; you are one tree root or deep rough situation away from a nasty injury that could easily require surgery. Don’t let this be you.

Davis Riley, winner of the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge, joins us to discuss the clubs he used to win last week’s event. Riley plays a unique Titleist T-Series iron setup and also uses slightly softer shafts in his irons. Davis also fills us in on how he was wearing the wrong sized shoes for years and the correct size helps with his swing!
Check out Riley’s full WITB here.

GolfWRX’s resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, puts the Mizuno ST-Max 230 driver to the test in our new Three Swing Challenge.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf, told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2, and discounted No. 3, because the player was starting to adjust.”
This is in line with our experience, and we believe golfers can make a meaningful judgment about a club in just a few swings.
Let us know what you want to see in the challenge next!

most important thing when watching any draw (or fade videos) is to know whether they are teaching a draw or a push draw (or a fade or a pull fade). The difference is important because of perception, body position, and what you will be seeing with the ball flight relative to the target.

I guess there’s a teacher/style for everyone out there, no matter how goofy this style sounds. Props.

Another camera – facing the golfer- would have helped to clarify the actual ball position. Behind the ball, you really can’t see the differences.

I like a lot of Shawn’s stuff, but this video is 99% incoherent to me.

Agreed. Like another said a “face on” camera angle would have helped.

Not only incoherent but also contradictory from his other videos on stance and ball position.
