I have struggled with consistent accuracy since having full ACL reconstruction years ago on the left knee. I am right handed, so it's my front knee.

I have some arthritis, so some days it holds weight transfer better than others.

My tendency is to overuse upperbody and come over the top. Pre injury, I played a draw. Haven't seen my draw in years.

Just wondering if any fellow golfers have found any solutions.

Have you tried playing with your feet closer together? This will help reduce excessive transfers of your weight to your front leg...not all, but it should help a bit.

Then play the ball back on the right foot a bit more. You will hit it lower but it should help keep you centered through the shot.

If you take it back to the inside and try to release outward, I bet you get the draw back.

Try the exreme of practicing a hook then settle down to a draw...
