How To Stop Hooking My Driver

Excerpt from How to Break 80 Series 'Driver' DVD Break80today.com/products/driver-dvd/. Oct 8, 2013 - It's probably the most obvious, but if your clubface is aiming left of the target then inevitably you'll put left spin on the ball at impact, causing a hook. Ford Radio Code V Serial Software Key. The ball position for a driver should be just inside left foot (right-hand image of Fig.2). How to stop topping the ball 8. 2) Stop aligning to the right of target. Hookers tend to align themselves to the right of target because they hit the ball right to left. To fix your hook and start hitting it straight, you need to align your body parallel with the target line. If you weaken your grip, you will start hitting it right. I hit most of my irons straight and my fairway woods most of the time as well. However, with my driver i hook the ball left. Its like a pull, then it.

If you're a player who tends to hit a hook, first count yourself fortunate. A hook is the last stop on the road to a good golf swing, and you're very close to hitting consistent, powerful shots. But it's still a ball-flight problem you need to take care of to make that next step and become a scratch or near-scratch player. A strong grip is by far the most common error I see with players who curve the ball too much from right to left. The right hand drifts to the right--away from the target--and moves underneath the club, as shown in the photograph below. With the right hand in this position, it will tend to turn over too much through impact.

Because the position of the right palm roughly replicates the clubface, it's easy to see why this turning over of the right hand causes the clubface to close and the ball to curve left. To calm that hook down to a manageable draw, adjust your right hand to a more neutral position, as I'm demonstrating to the right. Turn it toward the target, so you can't see your left thumb when you've made your completed grip. I also like to put my right index finger in a 'trigger' position under the handle, which supports the club through the swing. If the finger wraps around the grip too much, the club tends to get loose at the top.
