Full Definition
A draw is a controlled right-to-left ball flight (for right-handed golfers) produced by a swing path that moves slightly right of the target (inside-out path) combined with a square or slightly closed clubface. Draws tend to fly lower than fades, with more roll — producing maximum distance when executed correctly. The draw is often called the 'power shot' because inside-out paths and a closed face generate maximum smash factor. Many tour professionals shape a draw on par-5 tee shots for distance advantage. Draws require confident, uninhibited rotation through impact. GOATY trains the trail side loading and sequencing mechanics that naturally produce draw-friendly swing paths.
