Takeaway causing hook and off center hits
Recently I found that I was hooking the majority of my shots or pulling them and often I hit them way off center. It was to begin with a complete mystery. I'm a 5 handicapper and although my putting leaves much to be desired my iron and wood shots are usually good. Yesterday, while playing with a couple of senior members, I asked one of them to take a look/ check my swing. He immediately saw that my take away had moved outside with a close face. He recommended that I keep my right arm (I'm a lefty) close to my chest on the takeaway which in turn kept the shoulders arms and hands moving as one. The result was wonderful. All shots were straight again.
