How Do You Make The Golf Ball Draw?
Interview
with Nick Bayley:
Creator of The Draw
Golf
System
So, how do you
make the golf ball draw?
Nick Bayley is the author
of the
very successful
golfers Draw
System which has been used by over 5000 golfers to learn how to make
the golf ball
draw, hitting shots further,
straighter and more consistently. Nick was recently interviewed by The
New Zealand Golf Gazette where he shared his secrets to fixing the dreaded
golf slice.
Golf Gazette: Hi Nick,
and thanks a lot for agreeing to do this Interview. So let's get straight
into it. Why did you create a system to fix a golfers slice and help him
draw the golf ball, and how long did
it take to put together?
Nick: The reason
I created The Golf
Draw System was because one day I was surfing
the web and I saw a statement that said "85% of golfers
actually slice the ball."
Seeing that statement stopped me dead in my tracks and I decided right then
and there to do something to help as many golfers as I could to fix this problem.
Because being able to consistently make the golf ball draw is easy, BUT it's
only easy if you're shown how. Like anything, if you don't know how to do
it, or have never been shown then of course it's hard or difficult.
From the point of seeing
that statement on the web it then took me 3 solid months to create and test
what I believe is the best step-by-step "How to Fix Your Slice System"
in the world.
Golf Gazette: So what
does a golfer need to do to consistently make the golf ball draw?
Nick: From all
my testing and research it has become very clear to me that all that is required
to consistently draw the ball is the following three things…
1. A golfer needs
setup for a draw .
2. Swing from
the inside while contacting the ball with a slightly closed clubface .
3. Have equipment
that encourages a draw
a golfer to hit a draw.
And although it's possible
for a golfer to draw the ball with only two out of these three things being
correct, I've found that if a golfer wants to consistently draw the ball then
they must combine all three perfectly.
Golf Gazette: Clearly
you think it's so easy to fix a slice so why do so many golfers suffer from
this problem?
Nick: I believe
the main reason is because most golfers are only ever shown a fraction
of what is needed to
draw the ball. As I've said, a golfer needs to
setup correctly, swing from the inside while contacting the ball with a slightly
closed clubface and have equipment that encourages a draw. And my system teaches
each of these elements in great detail.
In essence, my system
is giving golfers the complete solution rather than just tips that may or
may not help.
Golf Gazette: Apart
from the obvious advantage of hitting the ball straighter after fixing a slice
is there any other advantages?
Nick: I read some
interesting research that Golf Digest did back in 1981 to find out the difference
between a fade and a draw.
They setup a driving machine
to hit draw and fade shots and from their scientific tests they found that
on average a draw goes 17 yards further than a fade shot. And it doesn't take
a genius to work out that a slice is going to go even less distance than a
fade shot!
From the golfers who have
tried The "Draw"
System this 17-yard increase in distance is conservative, very conservative.
Because I've found that when a golfer changes from one who slices the ball
to one who draws the ball they get a huge increase in confidence. And this
huge increase in confidence combined with the change in ball flight from a
fade/slice to a draw is gaining most golfers an extra 25-30 yards more distance!
Golf Gazette: Your
system has a pretty amazing guarantee but could you explain in more detail
what exactly it is.
Nick: Sure, I guarantee
this system will fix any golfers slice in 90 days. If it doesn't then the
golfer can send it back and they'll get their money back with no questions
asked plus I'll pay them an extra $ 35. That's how confident I am that it works.
And through my follow
up with golfers who have tried this system I've found that it generally takes
most golfers about 30 days to consistently draw the
golf
ball.
But having said that,
the other day I received an email from a customer in Palmerston North, New
Zealand who had
never hit draw shots, or even hooked a ball in all his 7 years
of playing golf. And just 10 days after getting my system and following the
instructions I recommended he was drawing his shots 70% of the time. And this
helped him to win a prize for longest drive, nearest the pin and lowest gross
in the first competition he played in after receiving the system.
As you can imagine he
was pretty excited about all of this and it was a great start for my day getting
an email like that.
Golf Gazette: Do you
have any other success stories you can tell us about?
Nick: On my
website I have over 140 customer comments from golfers in over 21 different
countries. And I have more success stories and more coming in daily. But one
of the success stories I like the best is from the manager of the Two Under
Club here in New Zealand who has been playing golf for some 31 years now.
And like many golfers he has sliced the ball since starting to play this great
game. He tried my system and is now consistently making the golf ball draw, which he
is both amazed and delighted about.
Golf Gazette: So what
exactly do you get people to do in this system of yours?
Nick: On the first
four days of the system I teach golfers each element of the setup needed to
consistently draw the ball. Then on day five I get the golfer to combine all
these elements into one simple setup position that encourages them to draw/hook
the ball. Then for the next 14 days I give golfers drills that teach them
each stage of the swing from the take-away to the follow-through.
You see I've found that
getting golfers to do drills that force them to do a part of the swing correctly
is the quickest way to change a golfers muscle memory. Theory is all well
and good but if a golfer can't feel what they should be doing then all the
theory in the world will be of no use to them.
After completing all the
drills the golfer is then given advice on little things they can do with there
equipment to encourage a draw. Plus they are given simple tests that quickly
show if their equipment is encouraging or hurting their chances of hitting
consistent draws.
Most golfers find that
they have to do very little if anything to their equipment to help them draw
the ball. But for others their equipment will never allow them to hit consistent
draws and learning that this is the case can literally save golfers years
of frustration and heartache.
And finally on day 21
the golfer is shown a setup position that encourages a consistent, powerful
draw and given advice on what they should keep doing on a consistent basis
(drills etc.) to reinforce what they have done over the past 21 days.
Golf Gazette: It sounds
very detailed. How much are golfers meant to practice this to ensure they
fix their slice?
Nick: I recommend
that golfers spend at least 15 minutes on each daily exercise to fix their
slice after 21 days. Also 90% of everything in the system can be done at home
so there's basically no need for practice facilities other than a place to
hold and swing a club.
Golf Gazette: Are you
serious? With only 15 minutes a day for 21 days someone can fix a slice they
may have had for 30 years or longer, and make the golf ball draw?
Nick: Absolutely.
It's not the time so much as the sequence that a golfer learns all the steps.
It's like building a house. You don't start with the roof, but instead you
build a solid base and foundation. The same is true in the golf swing. Start
at the setup, then the swing, then the equipment. And if golfers are given
a simple plan to follow that is based on sound fundamentals, then there is
no way anyone can fail. Within 21 days they will be hitting consistent
shots and
playing perfect drawing golf shots.
Golf Gazette: Sounds
great. How can golfers get more information about this new golf system?
