Your “high draw” might be a pull hook wearing a costume. We unpack the hidden role of alignment—how where you aim can mask your true club path and face—and why one honest session indoors can save you from that single catastrophic drive that ruins a card. Sparked by Chris Godderup’s leftward aim and deadly push cut, we explore how unconventional setups can thrive when they match your delivery, and how to figure out your own “square” so start lines and curvature work for you instead of against you.

We share a real‑world driver story: a player with a 7–8 degree left path who swore he was drawing it, only to discover on the launch monitor that his “draw” came from aiming way right and watching a pull hook bend back. That revelation leads to practical steps any golfer can use: put a stick directly at the target, learn your ball’s start line, and use simple feedback to dial in path and face. We get tactical about posture (pressure under the balls of your feet), small grip adjustments to fine‑tune curve, and why pros always practice with alignment aids while most amateurs wing it—and pay for it.

If indoor sims feel tougher, that’s because a fixed screen keeps you honest. Use that to your advantage. Map your tendencies across driver, irons, and wedges, then choose start lines and clubs that shrink dispersion instead of relying on compensations that only work when timing is perfect. Fewer penalty balls, more fairways, calmer swings under pressure—that’s the payoff when aim and delivery finally match.
