Question

I have this problem with every club in my bag, that a start my release to early closing my club face on the ball causing it to hook 30 yards! Does anyone have a drill or something that can help me with this.
Thanks

Answer 1

If your hook is that severe a temporary fix would be to aim your club face 20 yards right of your intended target and align your body 10 yards left of the target. An avg. player would a fairly large left to right shot, but in your case since you seem to be a handsy player, you might just hit a tight draw at the target or a straight pulled shot 10 yards left of your target. Again its a temp. fix, have your swing looked at by a teaching pro.

Answer 2

okay I can help your hook it has 2 root causes they are related to a player with a fast swing. The first cause of the hook is called a pull hook when you are set up to open with your shoulders it causes a swing path that is to outside and upright you may pull the ball 20 yards or hook it 30. To fix this problem make sure you set up square or slightly closed with your hands slightly ahead especially in the short irons not to ahead with the driver though this will fix you path to a slightly shallow swing plane that does not pull or pull hook the ball.

If you do not believe this is your problem then its the direct opposite your to flat and the club is getting stuck behind your body. Some symptoms of this shot are hitting the ground before the ball and actually pushing the ball to the right if you do over release some how you will violently duck hook the ball wont go very far it will nosedive into the ground about 180 yards of the tee.
If you have a good setup one that is not to closed or to open in relation to your target your path of your swing will be online enough to release the club as hard as you want that is the timing part do not worry about your release just find the timing that is why the tour pros can release so hard and swing so fast because their swings are right on path slightly open or slighty closed they dont get stuck and they dont get to steep. The final tip
is to make sure you transfer all of your weight into your front foot
because if you dont this can cause more mild form of the hooks
because you hands take over and your body failed to complete its weight transfer.

Answer 3

Try to NOT release the club...

It will most likely release anyway. Just try and stop your right wrist from crossing over your left until after impact.

Also, try weakening your right hand. If you have a real strong grip (thumb at around 2 o'clock), the clubface has to close a lot at impact. Moving your right hand more on top of the club will lessen the amount of clubface shutting.

Good luck with it.

Answer 4

Place the ball back further in your stance and or start your swing with your hands in front of the clubhead and the ball. This will make it more difficult to close your clubhead before you contact the ball.

Answer 5

Stop swinging the club directly. Let the club swing indirectly as a result of turning your body.

THINK : Take the club back.....turn (amazing thing happens when you turn; the swing will occur and much better than when you let the swing turn your body open.)

Now practice ....It will change your life....It has mine....

Answer 6

loosen the left hand if ur a righty... with less grip to pull the club that way... the club face should stay square.
simple, but works

Answer 7

ball further back. or put a red, or bright tee to the right of your target and try to swing out to it. you will see the brightness of the tee and swing to it so you swing out instead of inside.

Answer 8

Maybe try putting the ball further back in your stance if it isn't already.
