Try this Ricky - place a water bottle where your divot usually ends. Now, try to NOT hit the water bottle.

Ricky, make sure you give yourself enough room to come through the ball square to your target line....

Re: Still my divots are right

You nailed it RIcky - a pull is caused by an outside-in swing. Inside-square-inside is the perfect swing, BUT it's very hard to make it repeatable. That is the path I try to work on and I can go from a slight push and a draw to a slight pull and a fade from shot to shot (with my longer clubs - 4I to driver) all the rest are dead straight. Of course these are determined by whether I got a bit inside or I came a bit from the outside. The ball usually ends up at the target either way. Once you get your club face square at impact (the release portion that Graham is talking about) you will have a perfectly straight shot.

Glad to hear that that drill worked for you. Keep up the good work. The best advice I can give you now is to not worry about your distance. Keep working on drills and thought triggers that Graham gives you to. He is a very smart guy and will lead you down the right path - you just have to be patient and not get ahead of what he is trying to teach you. When rebuilding a swing into a great golf swing, it takes a while to make changes subtly so that it doesn't feel foreign to your body. Once you have your swing straigthened out and you work with it for a few months you will notice an increase in distance. You will also notice an increase in accuracy and consistancy with your yardages for every club in your bag.

For me, simply visualizing a cut helps my draw diminish into a nice high fade
