Pulling/Hooking the Driver

[DMBgolfer29]

(Keep in mind I'm a lefty) Alright heres the problem, when the ball goes straight it soars very high, perhaps too high. But, when I hook it or pull it which is most of the time it has a nice height. The farther to my left the ball goes, the higher it goes. How do stop hooking or pulling the ball but keep the trajectory.

Re: Pulling/Hooking the Driver

Hooking is caused by having the hands releasing before the hips, shoulders and arms have made their full rotation before impact. This gets the club face in a closed position causing the lower flight and hook spin you are seeing.

I bet you are using your hands incorrectly (about 90% of all amature players do this). Go here to fix this problem.
