What a bad day, everything was hooking everything. Made 1 birdie, a 250 yard drive "it went straight"


What would cause the hook?

What would cause the hook?

closed face at impact, in to out swing, standing too far from the ball, too soft shaft, stopping your body from rotating-any of these could have.

I have a goog draw, I am guessing closed club face.

All of what was said before. Just don't give up on it. Get back out to the range as soon as you can and work on it.

... still beats a good day in the office?

[QysnZWB4]

Wasn't very much fun, I walked of the course before I finished.

you could be getting too handsy as well. That what causes my hooks, I get stuck behind on my transition of my weight forward, then my hands flip over.

I know how you feel, I just had a terrible day too, and it just happened to be in the second day of a qualifier. A hook is caused by a closed club face at impact. This could happen many different ways. If I was you, I would take a video of your swing and maybe post it in the Golf Tec Ask A Pro section, they normally seem to satisfy most of the people who post in there. Good luck with your game either way.

I had hook trouble for a long time and it had nothing to do with the swing. In my case my right hand grip was too strong. The hand was rotated too far clockwise looking at it from address and my fingers were too far under the club. Didn't matter what I did during the swing, my right hand was becoming too dominant and closing the clubface at what should have been a neutral impact position with the natural motion of the arms. Once my grip was fixed (which wasn't a real easy process) I rarely hit a hook.

Yeah you probably just closed it a little more than usual, maybe a weaker grip could help you out next time

This ^^^^^^^^^^^ is a problem of mine with the ducks.

I bet it took a month or two to get use to the right hand being on top of the club huh? I tried this and it actually works however feels odd as heck, because it feels like I can't take the club back far enough...

I fight the same thing on and off...right now it's really on. Lost several balls ob left the past week. For me, it's just trying to remind myself to slow down....I can get really quick, and not finish my backswing. I then just seem to have to "jump" all over the ball, and nothing good happens from there.
