How to Cure a Golf Hook
If you've been battling a hook for a while you understand how frustrating they can be. Everyone else is, more than likely, slicing the ball, and you are playing from the opposite side of the fairway.
But... the hook really is pretty easy to cure
Try this sequence of corrections, and most likely the hook will be fixed in no time. Your goal in correcting a hook is to swing from outside to in
Weaken your Grip
You could be playing with a grip that is too strong. Simply rotate both hands around the grip and towards the target. This will make it much harder for the clubface to close through the impact zone.
- Don't over do it, and like everything else, testing is crucial. Make sure to test this, before moving on, unless you are positive that you already play with a weak grip
Move the ball forward in your stance
It is common of players who slice the ball to play the ball forward in their stance. So copy them.
If you hook, the result should be a
- relatively straight ball (Side Note: Whether you hook or slice, your first goal should be to learn to do the opposite.)
- Moving the ball forward in your stance should get some things back on track
Aim to the left (to the right if left handed) of the target
- Start out with an open stance to the target.
- This will put that clockwise rotation on the ball that you are looking for
- Just open your stance a little bit, and swing along the line of your shoulders.
Make sure that you are finishing with your weight on your forward foot. This is the single best solution for the hook. If you hook the ball, chances are that you finish with some of your weight still on your back foot.
This causes you to come around the ball with a closed clubface. This is the number one cause of the deadly snap-hook. Finish with all of your weight forward, and you'll never experience it. Our material is Simple and it Works We have developed a complete system for each aspect of the game
