Golfers Results From Using The Draw SystemBelow are over 146 comments about The Draw System from golfers in 21 different countries!
"Before I started your "Draw" System I had a slice. Since following your day by day instructions, I now hit the fairway much more often with a slight fade or draw when I get it right! As a result I have gone from hitting 220-230 yards to hitting 250-280 yards. I found the instructions easy to follow. It brought me along at the right speed in learning the system correctly without rushing. The step by step system I found left you excited to want to learn that step so you could move on to the next. It has improved my distance off the tee (a good 50 yards +) and helped me with my swing more importantly. Which has improved my whole game and as a result I hit straighter with more consistency. It has taken me to a new level in my golf game. It was easy to follow learning at your own speed. It was almost like having a golf pro right there with you. Anytime you can improve at something you can always enjoy it better, especially when you see yourself improving from day to day. I am and would recommend this system to everyone who wants to improve their game." Wayne

I know you like feedback, so here are some of my experiences with your draw system. Background – I have been playing golf for 30 years (starting at 15) and over the last 3 years have had a serious number of lessons, video analysis, continually re-reading David Leadbeater’s faults and fixes and occasionally buying golf mags for a few months concentrating on the instruction pages. Despite all this, my handicap was still 18, the natural shape of my shot was a slight slice and when there was the occasional good round or nine holes it was short lived. Every now and again the dreaded shank would appear. I downloaded your system in Feb, but wasn’t able to put in the time and by April I was shanking it again and was close to giving up the game. In one dark period of 3 rounds in the summer, I lost about 18 balls hitting the ball sideways. I then had a couple of more lessons with my Pro and worked harder on your system. Having had so many lessons I had been taught most of the moves at one time or another, but I think the real benefit of your system is that it identifies and clarifies, then builds and works to correct the bad old habits of the over the top swing. I am now pleased to report I am hitting the ball far better and longer off the tee with more confidence and that more and more balls go with a draw. The 3 wood is going particularly well. The outcome of putting in lots of time and using the system – I yesterday won my second consecutive divisional medal, (with rounds of 83 and 82) and have been cut to 12.5. A pity your system wasn’t around 20 years a go! Many thanks Best Wishes

Nick, I'd like to share my experience with the "Draw" system and how it changed my game and swing forever. I've been a beginner golfer for some 7 years and shot in the 90s. A low 90s round would be a good day for me. 2 years ago I wanted to better my game and keep up with some of my better golfing friends. I took lessons, watched the golf channel, bought swing aids, videos, books, new clubs, you name it I did it. I got worse then, a little better, then worse again. I couldn't figure it out. Oh yes, that nasty slice kept creeping back into my game. So this past spring, I swore that this summer was the summer things would change, more practice and probably more lessons. I could barely break 100. One day sitting at my computer I thought that I'd try one more time and searched through the internet for help. This is when I found your web site. I usually do not purchase anything over the web but somehow your words, the system and of course the guarantee made me take the plunge. I liked the fact that I could print out this document. It was easy to follow. The pictures were helpful and even though I took longer than 21 days, I'd say about 30 days, all of sudden without "thinking" about it and trusting what I was learning, I started to draw the ball. I stayed away from playing a full 18 holes as I was nervous that I may slip back to slicing and get frustrated. So when I did play, I'd play 9 holes, enough to see if I was improving but not worrying about my score and spend the rest of the time working on the short game and your drills. As my golfing buddies as witnesses (no joke) I played my first full round on a course I never played on and shot an 86. It was unbelievable. I had shot 86 only once in 7 years of playing golf. I played many rounds since and have been averaging in the mid to low 80s ever since. My last 2 rounds I only missed 2 fairways each time. I'm not a long driver, but it is sure easier to get to the green when you are on the fairway. . Anyway that's my story. Thanks for a creating a system that really "WORKS", easy to use and produces incredible results. Everyone asks me who fixed my slice and I tell them my virtual pro Nick Bayley. All the best in your endeavors. Best regards, Daniel

"The instructions are excellent. The photo's supporting the written word make it very easy to understand what one is meant to do. Well written. This is the best that I have seen in written form. The difference is that every move is explained in detail, with photos, and it is simple to follow. I'm very happy I've bought this system - the best thing is that I can review my swing and identify the areas I need to correct. Well done - excellent material, I have referred other people to the course." Kevin

"After following this system I am hitting the ball more solidly and have learnt not to 'overhit' attempting to get that extra 'meter.' The biggest benefit The "Draw" System has done is to give me a more consistent strike of the ball - I actually had a 100 meter wedge back-spin to the hole today. Also this system has eliminated a tendency for my drives to fade/slice and I have seen videos that were basically aiming at the same objective but didn't provide the clear steps to work through like your system does."

Howdy, Recently I did receive a copy of your program; I quickly (over an hour) read through the booklet, and paid particularly close attention to the Photos; the very next day I hit some balls on the range prior to teeing off, and was truly astounded at the results; I was even drawing my wedges, but of course the greatest benefit accrued to the driver and fairway woods; long seeming effortless wood shots that turned over consistently; a couple of which approached 300 yards, center cut. Both I and my playing partners were and continue to be amazed. This is great stuff, and so well presented. I actually had a chance that day to break 70, and that has not happened for an entire year, due to breaking my finger. I had struggled ever since with turning the ball over, and had resigned myself to a power fade. NO MORE. I cannot encourage you enough to get your system known here stateside, as this epidemic of "slices" through which we continue to suffer, shows no sign of abatement, and though I have many books and publications in my bookshelf, I must say that none are as crisp and concise with respect to "getting the message across". As you know, for most golfers, what you teach is the ultimate, as being able to work the ball not only adds distance but also "makes" fairways wider and the game so much more enjoyable in the process. Finally, I must say that, without doubt, your system and the resulting game improvement that results FAR outweighs all the equipment and ball technology available because it allows true shot making and confidence in repeatable ball flight that I had never enjoyed in the past. Consistency is that key. Thanx again, Rob
Peterson,
"I know your a busy man so I'll keep this short. If I ever meet you in person I'll KISS you!!!!! You have saved my golf game. I've been playing for 2 years and in the beginning I found it very easy. In less than 9 months I was a 14 and it was looking like it was going to continue to go down. Then I hit a wall, that little ball started to go right, and then it went further right, then even further right..... I was losing massive distance as well, 3 clubs. I fought with it for ages. Well I'm now 4 months into my new swing and I shot a 77 yesterday. You absolute beauty!!!! 15 of 18 greens, what a game!!!!! Your mental course is magnificent, coupled with the draw system I can now play golf on a level I never thought possible." John

"Dear Nick, I am very impressed with the "Drawing System" that I got from you only 10 days ago. Actually so impressed, I talk to every golfer that I meet recently! In the last 7 years playing golf, I have never ever drawn a ball, not even a hook! All my shots go fade or slice. Since I read your book, I change my grip, change my ball position, change my feet positioning, flex my right hand and moving my hip forward to have my head behind the ball.....etc. Now I am drawing the ball!! It's like a magic to me. I started drawing the ball from 6-iron, then with 4-iron, struggled with woods and driver for a few days. In the last 3 days I have been able to draw with a driver, even myself do not believe how the shape of the ball flight has changed. Being on Hcp 7.7 , I could drive reasonably long (220m), but it's always a fade not a draw. In the rough weather like the last 2 days, there is no way I can play golf because the gusty wind would simply rip the ball away. But I just used the draw playing in a competition today and won prizes of nearest pin, longest drive and lowest gross. Now I really believe drawing shots can minimize the affect of wind. The successful rate of my drawing is about 70%, conservatively. I am still doing the "release" parts of the system, I am quite sure I can come out even better after completing the entire system. Learning to play a draw certainly has given this game more fun. When I could only play a fade, big tree on my left hand side (I am a right hander) has always been a threat to me. Now I can use "draw" to avoid this! It is really interesting! I started my golf by watching Jack Nicklaus's video and also read a lot of books, there are quite a few good things there, but I have never seen one like your drawing system that explains so much details of swing technique. It's simple, easy to understand. The system tells me what to do and also explains why we are doing so. Good things and intelligence deserve to be recognized, I wish every success of your career and thank you!" San-Der

"Prior to The "Draw" System, I had a left to right ball flight. If I missed the shot often it resulted in a slice. Since I have been working on the system my ball flight is right to left and my misses are hooks. I have added 10-15 yards on my drives. My irons are about 10 yards longer. Also I have hit many more greens in regulation and I do not have to get up and down to make par. The system is easy to understand and each section builds on previous sections. Plus the illustrations are very detailed and were easy to implement. I am pressed for time and wish that more could be done in a shorter period. Although I now realize that the daily practice of the specific drills are necessary for success with the system." Michael
Vitch
"This system has given me a methodical way to practice and also answered many questions about set up, grip, swing plane and trying to concentrate on swinging the club rather than striking the ball. And by doing the drills my swing plane is more consistent. Also, working on separate components of the swing has helped. My distance has increased by approximately 10-12%. Everybody says I'm hitting my irons more consistently and that I am shaping my shots better, even though I am not aware of it. This approach is very unique in that the instructions and drills are easily explained and easy and fun to follow. After completing this system I am enjoying playing more because I am hitting the ball further and straighter which helps me score better. Golf is a game for life and you constantly need to try and improve, even though I have gone through the program, I will continually refer back to the manual to solve problems in my swing etc. Encourage students not to put the system on a shelf and forget about it, but to review it when you have problems with your swing or ball striking etc. Thanks for making a difference in my game." Paul
Nunn
"This system has given my straighter drives with my driver and I am hitting a lot more fairways. It has also given me great confidence off the tee with my driver and fairway woods. I no longer have to worry about missing fairways. Before the system I used to slice my driver and fairway woods a lot and miss a bunch of fairways. I liked the detailed step by step instructions on the breakdown of the swing along with the wonderful drills." Maurice
Forte
"Before I got this system I was slicing the ball. My problem was mainly with my stance. Now all my drives are straight. I've read other books, but got lost in the detail. The "Draw" System has just enough detail. After completing it I definitely enjoy playing more as it's always a lot more fun when you've taken 10 strokes off your game!" Doug
Hunter
"The "Draw" System has added 15 to 20 yards to my drives. It's given me more consistency and it's taken the right side out of bounds out of the picture. The "Draw" System has given me a consistent ball flight. Previously, my shots went both to the right and left sides of the fairway. I like this system because it had a definite purpose with very clear instructions. Also I liked how the system was broken into the day by day format. I enjoy the game more now because I feel that I am confident of where the ball is going. And I would definitely endorse this product and have recommended it to a couple of my friends already." Dave
Langhamer
"This system has given me the ability to draw the ball and I went from an average of 215 yard drives to hitting the ball 250 yards. This is one of the best systems I have seen. I am very picture orientated and your system teaches that way. There was not a lot of technical info. You got to the point and kept it simple." Dan
Bickish
"Before, I hit the ball fairly straight but would cut 20 to 30% of my shots and pull some. I now hit the ball straight with an occasional slight draw. I no longer fear trouble on the right. Also my miss-hits are still reasonable - I can spend less time on the full swing and more time on the short game. It works. My shots even sound different - I am swinging with more power and confidence. I read many golf books and magazines and you see a lot of good tips but they don't ever seem to help. Your instructions allows a golfer to find a correct path. The system worked for me. I also believe that if I fall back from where I am now, I have a program that will bring me back." Tom
Salsbery
"After this system my drives have been reduced to fades from slices and I have dropped five strokes. My enjoyment has increased since I am now playing from a better position than before. The pictures that accompanied the instructions made it very easy to follow them." Thomas
Guerriero
"I am still working through the lessons of The "Draw" System at this time. I have completed Day 16. I am a little slow because of business traveling. However, this past weekend I was able to play nine holes with my wife. It was one of the best 9 holes I've played. I used to be a chronic slicer, very inconsistent off the tee and on my approach shots. My tee shots are definitely straightening out. I felt very relaxed and confident and hit 6 greens in regulation. I still want to work on a draw - I just need more time. Also, really need to work on my putting!!! I shot a solid 40. My usual 9 hole score is 45-50. My goal is to keep that consistency for 18 holes...I still have a way to go! The "Draw" System has made me think about setup - for me, setup is EVERYTHING! Also, I have been working on very specific things when I go to the range - this is just now starting to make a big difference in my consistency. It is also a great confidence builder. All instructions have been easy for me to understand and follow. Plus, I can read and re-read them at will and "picture" the drills even if I'm not able to practice at home or on the range. I actually have read through the complete "Draw" System 3 times. It keeps me motivated to stay focused. My drives are now in the 220-240 yard range because they have straightened out. In the past, I would lose at least 25 - 30 + yards because of slicing. I have hit some drives in the 250 - 260 range when I get a good bounce and roll. One of the best things I liked about this system was that I could make progress at my own pace. It's easy to read and follow, and it makes sense. I can easily pick up where I left off - even if weeks have gone by. I think it's a great approach to the golf swing. I wish I could move through it faster....it does take focus and time. But, I am very willing to do it - especially with the results I've had so far. I have not seen anything quite like this system. I have bought many golf video lessons - they all have their good and bad points. The "Draw" System is different for me because it has made me think more about all the aspects of my swing and setup. With the video's, I seem to just "copy" what I see and hear. The "Draw" System has helped me break down my swing and correct some basic faults. I have always enjoyed playing golf - even when I sliced...I think I will enjoy playing even more as my consistency improves. I sense that I am getting much calmer on the course. It's definitely more fun! My wife has even commented recently that I seemed more relaxed when I play." James
Laskowicz
"Doing the setup and the grip the way you suggest has definitely made my ball go straighter. It is very rare, (like almost never) that I miss a fairway on a drive now. That alone has already started to drop my score. I am getting off the tee very straight and longer. The detail and ease of understanding are what I really like about your program. Clear instructions, along with the excellent pictures or views of what you are trying to impart makes your program very easy to understand. As I said earlier, I have noticed that it is very rare for me not to be in the short grass on the fairway! That is a pleasant change and all my golfing buddies have already started to make note of that. Now I spend my time helping them all find their balls, after I have hit my second shot from the fairway. It is a welcome change. I have noticed that I am now out there with the rest of my foursome on a drive, and in fact, now perhaps the longest of the foursome. I used to always be the shortest and it was beginning to be discouraging. Another welcome change! I like the way you give us small, chewable bites of information, with great detail and clear pictures as examples of what you are saying. Trying to accomplish something as dramatic as curing a slice and actually ending up with a draw is a huge task, and learning it in small, understandable segments I feel is the best way to learn it. Otherwise, a person tends to feel overwhelmed by that much information. The clarity and small concise bites of information makes your program really easy to understand. Your suggestion to take it "one step at a time" and practice for awhile, before moving on to the next lesson, is an excellent way to impart knowledge. It is sort of the "how do you eat an elephant" concept. Break it down into small, understandable bits of information, and practice, practice and practice the new learned skill or information. I am a very competitive person. Learning to draw the ball and/or cure my slice has been very helpful. I am not perfect yet and will continue to improve as I continue to practice and groove my swing, but this has made a major improvement to my game and I am still looking forward to dropping my handicap. My confidence about being on the fairway, has improved. I don't have to spend time looking for lost balls. The system was well worth the money I paid for it. I have told my friends about your system and I am sure they will be trying it. It works!" Phil
Benson
"The "Draw" System has helped me to hit my shots straighter instead of slicing and I also hit them further which in turn means I am using higher clubs to reach the greens. What I like best about the system was the simplicity. After completing this system I enjoy playing golf more as it has helped me to strike the ball more consistently and consequently I have more interest in the game. Finally, I am glad I purchased The "Draw" System as I have benefited from reading and utilizing it." Francis
Gascoigne
"I ordered your program earlier in the summer and worked on it on and off for about 6 weeks. I followed the program and did the drills, not daily, but as I could. I had the typical out to in swing of a person who played a lot of baseball as a kid but no golf. I must say I was a little uncertain of all the great feedback, and I found that it does not work instantly, as you say. I also was aware of the 'scoring trap', as I desparately wanted my scores to go down, and at first they actually seemed like they were going up. However, as I practiced, and changed my pre-shot routine to remember the important basics, the results have been phenomenal. In my group of peers, I am usually towards the back of the pack, but no more. The last few weeks I have been outdriving and out scoring them. In combination with a new set of more appropriate irons (Nike Slingshots, regular flex), the straighter shots have allowed me to go down a club on my shots. This allows even greater accuracy. I am hitting 250+ with the driver, where before it was 220-230 with a fade. My iron shots have been the most improved, as my confidence and straighter shots allow me to go at flags, not just greens. My partners think I bought my game with the new clubs, until I use their clubs and still hit it straighter and longer than before. My last 4 scores have been between 3 and 5 strokes below my average scores from earlier this summer. Is it the new clubs? Maybe partly. But in my opinion it is the new swing I learned from this excellent program. Thanks Nick for your awesome program. I had taken lessons from 3 different coaches, who basically tried to help me did nothing to diagnose or change my swing, only to give me a tip or 2. Your program breaks each component down into manageable drills, and worked great for a person like me who prefers self-study. It would have taken $800 of lessons to have a pro show me the things your program showed me, IF I could have found one in my area that knew these techniques. Thanks for bring the enjoyment back to golf for me. I had gone about 5 years without any significant improvement. Now I look forward to lowering my handicap continually, as I finally have an idea of what solid swing mechanics actually are." Kevin
Stevens
"As I am a beginning golfer, I have had lessons which enabled me to use a neutral grip and good plane. Yours felt uncomfortable at first but I am starting to see good results with my shots being more consistent. The pictures were good to copy and the explanations were easy and worked. I love golf so this system has just boosted the feeling. Being able to hit consistently long shots is thrilling!" Graham
Parton
"After completing this system my ball flight is usually straight with a little draw at the end. Even on bad days the slice has been replaced by a fade. And the best thing this system has done for my game is consistency. Also I liked the fact that it did what it was supposed to do. With the benefit of the pictures, anyone can follow the instructions. Now my drives are about 20 yards longer. I have even driven the green on a few holes. I have tried multiple other instructions including lessons, golf schools, videos and books. None of them worked but yours has. Thanks." Christian
Birkedal
"This system has improved my consistency as I have gone from a large slice to a small fade which means I am in the fairway much more often. And I am now playing in the 80's more often than I have been for about 4 years. The photo's are good as they show the instructions in surroundings that we are accustomed to. The thing I liked best about the system was the simplicity of the instructions and I'm glad I've bought it so I can refer back to it when I want." Richard
Humphreys
"I seldom hit the banana ball any more, which allows me to use the driver instead of 3 wood off tight tees. And as a result I am longer off the tees by about 35 yards which lets me reach greens in 1 less stroke. Also I have more confidence off the tee now. The pictures were a big help and what I liked best about the system was the simple day by day things to practice. Lastly, I am now able to be competitive with the people I play with which is giving me more enjoyment." Bill
Sharpe
"This system has improved my ability to eliminate a definite slice in my game. And the biggest benefits I got from this system is that I am now able to understand the mechanics of the golf swing. This system is extremely easy to follow and at this stage I have not developed a pronounced draw in my game but generally I am hitting straighter and longer now. I am extremely happy I bought this system as it gives my something I can always refer back to and practice. I enjoy golf much better now, knowing that I will at most times hit a much straighter ball." Patrick
Smith
"I am now making a much more consistent swing that has reduced my slices and allows me to hit a consistent draw. The best thing was the improved consistency and this has improved the satisfaction with my game. If someone will take a step back - they will take 3 or 4 steps forward with this system. I followed the system each day as outlined and I noticed improvement from about Day 10 on...It takes patience and trust, but it works. The biggest benefit I've seen is that I used to only use a 3-wood off the tee. Now I am using my driver and my drives range from 270-330 yards. It is a whole new game with this ability. Before The "Draw" System I wasn't very consistent. I used to slice or fade the ball (more slice than fade). Now I am either hitting straight or drawing the ball, almost at will! After completing this system I enjoy playing golf a lot more as it is much more satisfying to be able to hit good golf shots and score well, as opposed to losing balls and getting very frustrated. Bottom line: I have been playing golf for only 9 months. Thanks to The "Draw" System, I am now consistently shooting scores in the low 80's - with a best of 80! I think that speaks for itself." Rob
Tucker
"This system has improved my distance. I am getting about 10-12 yards more on my drives and it has taken about 9 strokes off my game. Also it has made more consistent. After completing this system I am enjoying playing more because I can now play with others in the office and be competitive. I even win a hole or two!" Jeff
Reece 
"This system has stopped me from slicing the ball and my fairway game has improved. I found the instructions and diagrams easy to understand and only this week I have found that I am hitting the ball further, at least 20 meters. And I now find that I can land on the green for 2 on par 4 greens. I am certainly hitting the ball straighter as I am putting more power into the drive. And what I liked the best about the system is the mere fact that it works! It's a very good system for learning golf. I'm very happy with my decision to purchase the course and the best thing about owning it is that I can use if for reference in future. I certainly enjoy my golf more now having completed the course and I am looking forward to competing with members playing on a lower handicap than myself." Tom
de Lattaye
"Nick, I never thought I would write a testimonial for any product because I have never believed anything was good enough to do that for. But your book is a different case. I purchased your book several months ago now and have to relate my story to you. I started playing golf almost 30 years ago (lots of bad groove)and as of last summer, my best score ever was a 101 with an average over 115. I have numerous experiences using various methods and books to improve ones golf game and most did not work because the lessons tell you the correct swing, NOT how to correct my bad swing and acomplishing what I want, and that is to hit the ball correctly. I am now on lesson 11, and have reached numerous milestones that conservatively speaking have me floored that I am capable of doing what I am doing. I am no longer slicing, my average drive is over 220 yards when my average was 170 yards and just shot a 91 last week and my average is now 100 (for last 20 games). Also hit my first draw the last time I was at the range. Due to time constraints, I am not able to complete a lesson a day but most days I do read the material for the lesson I am on and attempt to groove that lesson to the best extent that I can. I do not go on to the next lesson until I know I will at least remember that lesson as I go on to the next. The most difficult thing is remembering the important parts from the current lesson the next time I am at the range and yet more difficult is to take the swing I have at the range and put it into practise on the course itself. I learned not to worry about my score at first, because changing old habits is very difficult and I would find myself reverting to my old habits to be safe and the combination of knowing the right stroke and hitting the old stroke was nothing short of disaster. Now two months later, it is apparent that the right stuff is now grooved in my mind and the number of things I need to think about as decreased significantly. I know so many who are so comfortable with their bad swing that they will strongly resist giving up the safety of that and I only wish I could convince them that that is exactly what they have to do, get your book, throw caution to the wind and do what the instruction says no matter how difficult or awkward it may seem. Some of the lessons were very uncomfortable with the hardest one for me, being the straight back, or correct posture which very much changed my normal vertical distance to the ball. The next hardest thing is on the backswing, starting with the large muscles and then continuing with the arms (and not doing one or the other) and of course one of your next lessons, aiming the left shoulder at the ball made that happen almost all by itself. The format, layout and simple to follow instructions are EXACTLY what any long time golfer or beginner can use to create the right swing. I have to admit I did not think it would be possible without an instructor telling me what to do, but I was wrong. I only wish I could package the feeling I have at the moment and give it away as a Christmas present to those I know need it. Without overstating it, the confidence I have in my swing already (with 10 lessons to go) is one of the top things I have accomplished and the resulting good feeling is even more so. After I finish your lessons will start work on my short game and my mental game. If you publish something for those two areas and it's under your name in the same format, I will buy it. A very sincere thank you to you and anyone that was involved in putting this book together, I will be forever in your debt. Thank you." Dave
Strackbein
"I'm about half way through the system and my slice is beginning to disappear. I do not have a draw yet but I'm more consistent in that I am able to keep my drives on the fairway more often. The slice of the past is now just a fade and sometimes just straight. I've read lots of articles on fixing the slice but none have seemed to work but yours is. Also your system is easy to go back to and refresh your mind on the basics. I've enjoyed working through the system at my own pace. That is a big advantage with your process. And now golf is more enjoyable since I don't have to spend so much time in the woods!!!" Gary
Chullino
"I just received the system last week and haven't really had the chance to apply all of it's principles but just from what I have tried already I slice much less often and the majority of my shots are straighter. The instructions are easy to understand and follow and the abundance of photos is a great help." Willie
Pindle
"This system has helped me to get a much more solid contact with the ball and this has added 10 more yards, at least, which has improved my scoring by 4 to 5 shots. The instructions were laid out in a logical, progressive manner. And I have seen other methods to create a draw, but this one is the best that I have seen. After completing the system I enjoy playing golf more. I recently won a longest drive contest and that has never happened before." Randy
Bruce
"This system has brought me back to basics and given me drills to practice to give consistent movements. And I found the instructions precise with good explanations as to why! The distance I hit the ball has certainly increased. Basically with my irons and this is just a guesstimate but where I would normally use a 3 iron I am now using a 5 or 6-iron. I had just started playing again after a lay off of 8 yrs and I was hitting the ball all over the course. After only completing 3 or 4 of the drills, the ball was definitely going straighter." Frank
White
Nick, I played golf years back, but then didn't play for 14 years. Even when I played back then, I sliced the hell out of it. I took some lessons, and that was fine, but I still sliced it on my own the minute the instructor would walk away. Half of it is, I don't like someone staring at me and getting behind you and trying the swing with you, holding your hands in place, it's just all awkward and you feel like a retard... plain and simple! HA! Anyway, I picked up some clubs about three years ago because I had to start entertaining clients, and what better way than golf, right? As I got back into it, I couldn't stop slicing. It was embarrassing because I would be playing with these big time Execs who I was supposed to entertain, they were hitting straight down the fairway off the tee, and here I was slicing it way off into the other fairways (they probably thought I was doing it on purpose to let them win, HA!). Then, I would get frustrated and even totally miss the ball because I got so hung up on trying not to slice it, it absolutely ruined the game for me, and I would get nervous every time the tournaments I had to attend rolled around. It wasn't even fun anymore, it was torture, and I always felt like the third heal holding the team down from winning anything (even though it's usually the scramble style for the tourneys). I started hitting balls alot at the range, and I do fine on my irons, that's not really a problem, although I would get frustrated by my drives, then start topping on my irons because I was paranoid and nervous about the next tee shot. It really sucked! So, rather than just settling to the fact that I was going to slice forever unless I just concentrated on hitting it with literally no power behind it, I looked into the Internet sites for assistance... I love the internet. First thing I did was order a club called the Perfect Club. Have you heard of it? It's actually a very versatile club that really does help you straighten the ball out because you are shooting from an iron position most of the time. HOWEVER, the real fix came when I went onto Search and put in "Golf Slicing," and an add for your program popped up as one of the sites. I started reading your program, and the hip exercises and advice on power are all good, feet positioning and follow-thru, all good stuff, and the way you show the stance and approach, great stuff. But you know what the single most effective section was for me... GRIP!!! Most of my problem was in my grip. I didn't use the overlap correct method, I used the ten finger method with my hands on top of each other. I also had a tendency to look up before I followed through, and I did put too much weight on my back foot, causing my back to arch up. The minute I concentrated on correcting all those things, immediately, I began to draw the ball instead of slice it. With all my woods, 1 Driver, 3 Wood Big Bertha, 7 Wood, and yes, even the Perfect Club, the shots were either drawn, or straight, and flew much further. I went from hitting it about 215 yards slicing way out to the right, to about 300 yards on the draw with my best tee shots. But the best thing? I am having a blast and am now hitting at the range every other night, and twice on the weekends. I don't sit there and stare at the ball in intimidation, I just look at it, set up, and shoot it quickly. The psych-out of dwelling on the ball like the more time you take staring at it, the better you are going to hit it, is even worse. Positioning my shoulders toward the target, swinging the hips correctly, and stance, plus a couple things I learned from a Tom Kite tape, fixed most of my problem. I bought a city Golf Card and hope to play at least once a week now, and I won't run scared from the tourneys anymore, which I used to make excuses about being too busy, and that was part of my job... I feel silly now, but at the time, I dreaded every time I would stand up at the tee with three guys behind me rolling their eyes, or even patronizing me with a "That's okay, that would have been a good shot we were on the 7th hole," yea, because the 7th hole went way out to the right, no kidding!!! No longer do I feel like a hindrance, rather I feel like one of the team, and that I can keep up and contribute some good drives. Thanks God for your program! It really worked for me, so you won't need to worry about me exercising my money-back guarantee, you have a big fan for life! By the way, do you have DVD's available to brush up on every once in a while that I and my wife can watch? Now all I have to do is perfect my putting... good luck... HA! Thanks again! Mark

"My consistency has improved since getting this "Draw" System and I now have a better understanding of my swing. I knew most of the drills from previous lessons but this system put them into a plan I could follow and go back too. One of the biggest benefits of having this system is that I can fix any errors that creep in." Paul
Mooney
"Only a short time ago I was happy to see the ball heading in a forward direction but now I'm deciding which side of the pin to aim for. My swing plane is consistent and I have found good rhythm. 95-101 was my average score before getting this system but now I am enjoying consistently great shots with repetitive 89, 90, 91 and for the first time I shot and "84" which included an out of bounds on a par 5 (nasty bounce from fairway) scoring an 8. I have watched, listened and read an incredible amount of info over the years but I believe this information was too deep. They lost the basic focus and in amongst the data was the big key issues. Whereas your system has been well thought out and is easy to follow. I can't remember when I last faded or sliced the ball. My hands feel part of the club now and I have better rotation with my hands through the impact zone which funnily enough has helped rhythm. I am now enjoying golf for more than I ever have. The system makes practice more fun just knowing the system works. And the expressions on my partners faces don't compare with how I now feel hole after hole." Geoff
Andrews
"The "Draw" System has helped in getting the club to turn through impact. I feel that I am striking the ball the same every time I swing now. And I can count on the ball drawing left and rolling a few more yards. When I started I had a very nice slice going. Now, I can go straight or use a little draw if need be. I now enjoy playing golf more after this system. My score is dropping week by week. This is very good!" Rex
Laughlin
"I have stopped slices and fades and now hit the ball straight or with a draw. The results has been an improvement in my handicap from 18 to 16. This system has made me think how to play ALL shots with more precision. The instructions are the clearest and most straight forward I have seen anywhere. My drives have increased from an average of 180m to 200m. Not bad for a 78 year old. What I liked best about the system was the daily drills and the excellent photos and notes on each one - all very easy to study on the computer. On these the setup drills were most important, and for me 'Day 8' drill was crucial, as also the left knee movement in 'Day 10'. I've never seen anything like this anywhere. It's very easy to follow. Congratulations on doing it and using the Internet most effectively." Bob
Taylor
"After completing this system I am hitting more fairways and greens than ever before. It has made me more consistent. And everything was simple and straight forward. What makes this system different is that it actually works. A lot of golf improvement "systems" are bogus and do nothing but spend my money. I have always loved playing golf, but now I am excited that I have a realistic chance to break 80 each time out." Henry
Hart
"This "Draw" System has given me more power with no more weak shots to the right. Now I'm blowing it over the flag stick not just on the front of the greens. I was hitting my 7 iron 150 yrds now it's an easy 8 or hard 9. Also hitting 5 & 4 irons, 190/200 yrds with ease. After this system I no longer worry about hitting it right. I liked the drills per day. I just kept going over and over certain drills till it started working for me. And I've seen drills in mag's and some help me for a while, then I see a new drill and try that. Your system is one of repeated learning and much easier to remember while playing golf. I always enjoy playing golf but I love trying to improve my golf that's why I like your system. Thanks for your follow up, it lets me know I need to keep working on the drills." Dwain
Hiebert
"It's simple and concise techniques are easy to remember and it's given me confidence in my swing which has increased the distance on mid to long irons by 10 yards. This has meant I now play most shots with a shorter club which are easier to hit and I can be more specific where I aim. But the biggest improvement is being able to hit a consistent shaped draw shot. I have seen many books but The "Draw" System is far more concise." John
Hall
"I started late, well after I retired. This is my fifth year of trying, and I have always tended to slice. This system has improved my consistency and I find I'm more confident and more relaxed now. That's one of the biggest benefits I got from this system. The instructions were easy to understand and follow and it's added at least 10 yards to my drives and fairway woods on average. Some shots go 25 to 30 yards longer and this has improved my confidence 100 percent. I've never seen anything like this before and it seems more personalized as well as being very easy to understand. I'm happy I've bought it because I can always go back and revise it. After completing this system I really enjoy hitting the fall further and straighter. Today I only sliced one drive & no fairway woods. I hooked a couple but not too badly,and drew one shot well! Believe me that is very good for me. Regards Eric." Eric
Gaunt
"For the first time, this system has increased my confidence in what I should be doing in my swing. I know what the grip, ball position, and stance should look like. My confidence is growing and I just shot my best round yet. I have dropped strokes every time. My increased confidence has enabled me to actually plan for a given course and the upcoming shot instead of wondering if I'll even make contact. This system has most definitely increased my distance. I'm having to re-evaluate the distances. My 150 yard club used to be the 6-iron. Now it is the 7-iron. I am more consistent. I now strike the ball better. I enjoy playing more after going through this system because of my increased consistency, confidence and good practice fundamentals. Now I know where to look in my swing if something goes awry. I didn't before. Thanks. It's well worth the price." William
Cook
"I have now shoot my lowest round ever and hit the ball more consistent. I used to go round 80-90. Now I go round early 80's and I had a round of 76! I hit the driver straighter and my irons longer now. Following the advice in this system it has increased the length of my drives by 20-25 meters and my irons by the same. I hit the ball straighter with a little draw where as before I used to hit my driver with a slice. And what I liked the best about the system was the simplicity." Stephen
King
"Nick - I thought I would let you know how my last round of golf went. I played a lot of golf for a couple of years in my early 20's and my best score was a 92. I picked it back up about a year ago (some 15 years later). I played this weekend. I probably haven't gotten through but Day 4 in your "Draw System" but this Saturday I shot an 87! The score of the round before that was a 104. I had fun. I was playing out of the fairway a lot ... instead of behind the trees. I just felt better playing. I still have a long way to go but I just thought you might want to hear what happened to me. Thanks, John" John
Walker
"The grip adjustment you recommend has increased my tee shots by up to 30 meters. I'm hitting big drives now. I draw my fairway woods for extra distance but can hit them straight too. I found your instructions easy to understand and follow. Very common sense. A lot of useful tips some of which I knew but had forgotten. My tee shots are no longer a worry. This is the part of the game that I now like the best and when I get on the tee my thoughts are how much further I will hit my drive past the other guys - some 40 years younger than me. Honestly I now hit my drives further than I used to 40 years ago. What I liked best about this system was the common sense approach. Your dedication and caring attitude plus constant contact and ready help which you so readily offer. I'm really impressed with your approach. The fact that you just do not sell the system and then forget the purchaser rates highly with me. Your constant contact and caring attitude impresses me sooo much! I'm happy I bought this system because I refer to it constantly - shot a 65 net last Wednesday (16 January) and confidently feel I'm going to reduce my handicap (22) by a healthy amount this year. Thank you for all your help. I wish you every success and hope you experience a great 2002 in health, wealth and happiness." Alby
Hirst
"This "Draw" System has enabled me to approach the tee with confidence knowing I now have this shot in my bag. When playing different courses, it makes a big difference because I am not limited to just one ball flight, so I can fire at greens and flags more often thus looking forward to lower scores. Also this system has given me new confidence when I am playing. Knowing when I get off track, which we all will from time to time, I have the basics to return to and especially the drills to reinforce what I have been learning. Words are one thing, but if you are visually orientated as I am, the pictures make The "Draw" System so much better. I have picked up an additional 10-15 yards with the draw. And when the ball hits the fairway you know it is going to continue to turn over for additional yardage. What I like best in the system was the photography plus the fact you continue to review what one has been studying. This is great reinforcement. Hitting a draw equals distance meaning more delight in the game of golf. While others are gripping and complaining when they hit a bad shot, and all of us will from time to time, I always have something to fall back on to get back on track quicker now." Mark
Howard
"I've been playing golf for 31 years now and I've always sliced the ball. I tried everything to fix it and out of desperation I tried your system. I'm now very happy to report back that after following your instructions I can now consistently draw the ball! It's amazing how much further the ball goes when it's hit with a draw and how much more fun golf is when you're playing from the fairway regularly. I highly recommend this system to any golfer who want's to learn how to consistently draw the ball. If it can teach me to hit consistent draws it can teach anyone!" Jac
Holt
"I used to hit the ball either straight or with a slight fade. I could never determine what the outcome would be. Now I hit the ball more straight with a slight draw at the end. This system has also helped with the pre-shot routine to hit consistent shots. On average I am hitting the ball 10 meters further with my driver and between 5 and 10 meters with the irons. It has helped me to hit shorter irons into the green with more accuracy. The most frustrating part of golf is the unexpected outcome of some shots. With this system there are less surprises which make a round of golf more fun." David
De Jager
"All woods are now a 'draw' from the tee to fairway. A push or two but no slices, good-bye slice! I can now walk to my shots with confidence knowing 9 times out of 10 they will move with more distance and more control. When I hit the ball I can sense my fellow player watching with intent. 'Why does he setup the way he does?' Answer. Buy the "Draw" System. This entire system has increased my irons by between 20 to 25 yards. I can now be on the green on a par 4 quite comfortably having my 2nd shot with anything from a 6 iron to sometimes a pitching wedge. Before I stared the system I was erratic from a slice, to a hook/draw, a straight push a complete cycle of frustration. Now 2 factors. A draw or a straight drive. Irons a draw or straight. I am happy knowing I have a unique system. I have been asked about it but I encourage people to purchase it to appreciate it. I enjoy not losing as many balls. I enjoyed dropping 9 shots after my 5th drill, believe it or not, I just love those long straight drives. Thank you heaps Nick." Paki
Waretini
"Believe it or not, I'm only up to DAY 10 in your system. I (actually you), however, have cured my slice already. The only two significant changes I've made (consistently) are my grip and alignment. Those two things alone are allowing me to get off the tee and basically down the middle. THANKS!!!!! The difference is so dramatic that my friends insist that I must have been taking 'secret' lessons. I've taken lessons from three different pros and none of them were able to cure my slice. You did it in the first 10 days of your system. Of course, since I've only been playing golf since February of last year (2001), I haven't had the opportunity to see too much anyway. Actually, this is really incorrect since I've searched the Internet for just about anything to help my game; videos, tips, etc. Your system, had I found and purchased it a year ago, would have saved me a lot of 'surfing' time." Dick
Jacques
"The biggest benefit's of this system is that it has helped me to draw the ball with my irons 8-3 and woods 5-3 and sometimes my driver - where I get more distance. The exercises were easy to perform and results came with practice. With my irons I'm gaining 20-25 yards extra distance. With my 3 wood I now consistently draw the ball and gain 25 yards or more. When I manage to draw the ball with my driver I can gain 20 yards easily. Because I use a long driver (50in shaft and Titanium Head) I generally hit the ball straight with a big smooth swing. But I need to get the swing plane right to consistently draw the ball. I've never seen anything like this before because it's more extensive - with a logical progression. And I'm happy I've bought it because I can refer back to it to brush up or review the fundamentals etc. I enjoy playing golf anyway but naturally the level of enjoyment goes up when you get more distance and accuracy. I am struggling being consistent though as my handicap has gone from a 13 to 8!!" Peter
Quinn
"This system has given me longer controlled shots. On average my shots are going 20 yards longer. But most important I am hitting some super shots compared with my averages. Specifically with the driver. I haven't seen anything like this system and what makes it different is that it absolutely focuses on one thing and is very practical and to the point." Ayman
Hussein
"This system sure has improved my consistency. Mostly straight now with hardly ever a slice any more. It was simple, easy and made the game more enjoyable. I've gained 20 yards on drives and one iron less into the green. THANKS!!!! John
Graham
"The first time I used the system the result was dramatic. I was a terrible slicer and had difficulty producing a reasonable drive. After the twenty one days I followed the system to the letter and produced straight drives. As yet, have not produced the draw but the slice is all but eliminated. The "Draw" System has set a specific standard for me to follow in playing the golf shot. That standard has given me confidence to play shots. In the past it was continual trial and error. I found the instructions well illustrated and for the first time I have had explained the importance of various techniques and what goes wrong if they are not adhered to." Edward
Creasy
"I am finally hitting my drives consistently in the fairway. But not just my drives all my shots. Driving the ball most importantly straighter but also longer. The "Draw" System has not only taught me to draw the ball, what it really has done is taught me to swing correctly. This has helped me hit all my shots better. My one piece low and slow take-away has helped me to hit my irons cleanly on a consistent basis. My distance on my drives is already more than 30 yards further and I know I'm not done yet since I only completed the program earlier this week. Also my irons are at least a club longer because my whole swing is better and my confidence is growing every day. I don't slice the ball anymore, do you know what that's done for my game too not be in trouble after my 1st shot. Before The "Draw" System I would be slicing even my 7 iron at times. The instructions were the best I ever read. For example, I have read so much about how important the grip is. And I have also taken 3 sets of lessons ( 5 lessons each at $160 a set) but it was not until I did The "Draw" System was I able to get it right and keep it right. And maybe even more important was your instructions on rolling my right wrist. Ben Hogan had some crazy term for it that I never understood but it seems like that's why I never got rid of my slice until I completed The "Draw" System. There is no doubt that what I liked the best was the drills. I think that's what made it work so well and I think the step by step process with a drill to help you apply each step is what made the difference. I started playing golf 2 years ago and I love it. But after completing the course I enjoy the game more because I am playing so much better. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you. I realized after the 1st week of the system that you weren't just teaching me to draw the ball you were teaching me the correct way to swing." Tom
Duggan
"After 2 months incorporating The "Draw" System in my game the consistency in my long irons/woods has been the biggest improvement, I love the simplicity of the drills and every time I get into trouble, I just recall all the checks and pointers you have outlined. Thanks a million....I'm happy!!! The photo's showing the positions were very helpful and I like the way you repeat a fundamental as the lessons proceed from grip to final finish. I was playing last Thursday with the same foursome the past month and to their surprise/shock they could not believe how I'm averaging 240 yards with the driver, at least a 20 yard improvement...that was a yardstick I'm proud of coz I'm 54 years old and only been in the game for 8 months. My foursome used to give me a nickname...the "banana king" coz my slices were awesome...now it's hardly there any more, and my short irons are straighter now than before I got the system...when you explained the setup, ball position it really helped my game. The drills have been fantastic, this system is perfect for me, thanks again for the help." Jack
Deguzman
Hi Nick, Just thought I would let you know that I purchased your draw system about a year ago. Althought I don't have the suggested amount of time, I do practice the drills when I can and I have achieved very good results, albiet over a longer period. Two things caused me to write to you. One was that I met a new golf friend a little while ago and we went to the range at lunch to hit a few balls. He is a 9 handicapper and he commented on my ball flight being a consistant slight draw, in stark contrast to the fade/slice I used to hit before The Draw System. The other thing is that I have played a few unofficial comps with a social group recently. My tee shots were always on the fairway, and a good number of greens were hit in regulation. That is a completely different game to a year ago. I still have a few areas to work on, distance control, reading greens, etc. But the dreaded slice is history. John
Saunders
"This "Draw" System is helping me to hit a lot more balls down the fairway and not slicing them as I had been. I think it's because I'm more aware of what I'm doing in the swing at impact. And one of the biggest benefits of this system is that it made me concentrate and stay focused. Now I'm hitting my drives and iron shots up to 20 meters further. This has reduced the number of shots per round and I'm starting to see my handicap coming down. Also I no longer play military golf (left, right, left, right) as I did when I first started. After finishing this system I am enjoying playing more because I'm getting more satisfaction and less frustration out of my game. Making a good shot means that I don't take any baggage to the next shot, which means I'm more relaxed in my game. People are starting to ask me what I'm doing to improve my game, so it's being noticed that my attitude has changed as well as my game. I hope some of them have taken my advice and contacted you." Katie
Beddek
Nick, I'm proud to tell you that I was drawing my drives all day long, from right to center, with more than enough distance--and it's been only 5 days since I began your draw system. It was about 40 degrees here in mid-Missouri today so the balls were cold and not flying too far. Still, I'm excited about my average distance gains but even more amazed at the accuracy I am achieving with this strange but wonderful new draw pattern. What turned the trick were your drills on releasing the club. They are excellent and just what the doctor ordered for my push-fade drives. I could never figure out (nor could my local pro) why I was drawing all my irons, including 7, 8, and 9, but hardly ever the driver. I played a friendly scramble today with my three golfing buddies, and their eyes popped out when I cruised along in "draw mode." They quit early because of the cold; however, I continued out of pure enjoyment of striking the ball sweetly and accurately. Split the fairway on the first 3 holes with a nice swinging draw. I did exaggerate the stance a bit, but that's giving me the feeling of my right hand and arm climbing over my left. My back feels turned to the target more and my hands and arms are working down freely and releasing against a firm left side. What a super feeling. I will continue working through all the drills and keep you informed on my progress. But the system works for those who persevere. I'm proof of that. Thank you for taking the time to pick together an outstanding system that should work for many golfers who are struggling to find their swings. I assume that as I continue to draw or even hook the ball, I will be bringing my stance back to square, releasing the club as I have been today? And then playing the ball more off my left heel and less toward the middle. The system suggests that a golfer may become too active with his hands and overdo the release. True? If I find myself overcooking the draw and hooking, I'll square the body up and swing more down the line instead of out. I'm sure my "feel" will tell me how to balance out the legs and hands. I am also sure the development of my torso and stomach muscles, along with greater strength in my wrists and forearms will improve my swing speed so that I'll be knocking them out there close to 300 by springtime and continue to shoot closer to scratch golf. (I'm a 2 handicap now.) By the way, I was knocking pins down today and sinking a few putts. So the overall effect of the draw system improved my confidence in other departments of my game, too. You'll never know how grateful I am. You charge way too little for your system! Thanks for all your help, John. John
Butcher
"I have been fighting a huge "banana slice" since I began playing golf again after 40 years absence. It was very frustrating. The slice manifest itself on my drives mostly. With your system I have almost eliminated this slice. The "Draw" System has taken an average of seven strokes off my game, and I have only been using it for about four weeks. The pictures and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I tried taking some lessons from the pro at one of the courses I play on, but your e-book was much easier to follow than his verbal instructions. I also was much less nervous working on my own, without some one looking over my shoulder. I have added about 15 yards to each club with The "Draw" System. This has made it possible for me to ease up a little on my swing so that I can be a little more controlled. Also I can now figure out just how to line up. It used to be a crap shoot. Now I can be fairly confident that my ball will end up close to where I want it to. The best thing about The "Draw" System is that it gives me a number of check points that I can depend on to set up and get ready for each shot. It gives me confidence that I am doing the right thing. There are many different systems out there, but this one is unique in that it is very specific and doesn't take hours of dreary practice. I've always enjoyed the game of golf, but it is a lot more fun when you aren't stressing over the thought of slicing over the trees into the next fairway. The "Draw" System is definitely worth the price, probably worth ten times as much. Thanks for getting rid of my banana slice." Charles
Wettengel
"I am now hitting more fairways than ever before. I only slice maybe twice a round now and this is only when I fall back into old habits. Also I have gained about 15-20 yards which gives me shorter second shots. I used to hit maybe 3 fairways in an 18 hole round but now I miss only 2 in a round and sometimes none. This system was easy to read and follow instructions. The drills were simple and anybody ought to be able to read and understand the directions. I must say it's a lot more fun to play from the fairways than always from the rough on the right side." J
D Price
"This system has helped me to become more consistent. I am not getting the wide variance from duck hook to the banana slice. I feel that I am getting more punch into the ball and my shots are straighter. My confidence in my shots now has increased with the ball going where I am aiming. I found the instructions easy to follow and I am now hitting my 3 wood and 3 iron further than I can ever remember plus I am hitting the ball straighter. I am more confident I will hit the target and I am not trying to hit it as hard, relying on my swing and timing to give me control and distance. Also I am in less trouble with more time on the fairway. What I liked best about the system is that all facets of the swing and grip are laid out clearly making it easy to sort out what you need to do to improve your shots. You also emphasize clearly what is essential for me to do to hit good shots. I did not find anything I didn't like about the system and I want to take in everything you can teach me. I have seen and I have many other golf programs. However your course/program seems to cover what you should be doing. It takes the guess work out as all your drills explain why it is necessary. I am happy I have bought this system and I enjoy playing more after buying this system as I can see great improvement. I have been to professional coaches before and some could not explain the drills as well as your system has done. Several things have clicked for me giving me the knowledge of what I now need to do in practice and I am looking forward to more practice to make perfect." Ray
Wilson
"After completing this system my miss-hits still occur but more often they are still in play. I am now hitting more fairways and more long iron shots to greens. And the biggest benefits I got from this system is greater consistency and confidence. I really like the simple straight forward approach of this system and of course the results. Everything else I've seen is not as simple and as easy to follow. Every other game improvement product seems to lack a system. I worked fairly hard at improving my game previously, reading Leadbetter etc., but never was able to produce a better swing. Had a big fade off the tee, could hit it long but often in a pressure situation I tried to steer the ball and got some really nasty results. But with this "Draw" System I am seeing better results, quicker and with less effort." |
