Set up a draw: ball back, handle forward, close the face

A setup to turn that natural right-start into a controlled draw. He moves the ball back in the stance and presses the handle forward so the shaft is angled, which points the face out to the right. He then closes the clubface so it aims just a fraction right of target before gripping it. Made with a simple circular swing, he says this produces a ball that sets off slightly right and draws back to the centre.
