Slight Hook

[wirrenut]

Wow am I confused. I am a true 8 handicap. Recently I have started pulling my drives left. OMG !!!! Never done this. I am frustrated. Checked my grip. Ben Hogans 5 lessons book (my reference). All other clubs are great. I think I am flattening my swing with my driver. I need those yards !!! Please help.

Re: Slight Hook

Sounds like you are hitting on an out to in swing path.

Re: Slight Hook

No offense to Brian, but I think you are coming outside in with a shut face. If it's coming as that much of a surprise that you are pull hooking it when you are used to cutting it, then your clubface is the likely culprit.

So I would first check your grip to make sure it's not too strong, and second your release may be a little too soon. Hands got to the ball before your turn. Make sure you initiate the swing with the lower body.

No Offence. That's what I meant.

Re: Slight Hook

if all other clubs are good, check your ball position and your alignment on the driver. could be too far foward or may be setting up to far right mike
