Nobody can know what you didn't change. There are many causes of hook shots, few examples from ball position are as follows:
a. The ball played too far forward usually opens the shoulder line, thus setting the swing path out-to-in.
b. With the ball too far forward and the shoulders square, the club strikes the ball when it is starting to swing back to the inside.
c. With the shoulders too close at address the player inevitably comes over the top in an effort to hit the ball on target.
If the body stops turning and arms stop swing through the shot, the hand will quickly turn the club face closed resulting in a shot that curves from right to left.

I suggest you use the swing for correcting slices to be your golf swing, that is to swing from between 3 and 4 o'clock hit the ball and continue to end up between 9 and 10 o'clock. You are unlikely to hook any more.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Sounds like you have too much tension in your arms when you set up. A slice and a pull hook can be caused by the same fault. An over the top move with tight arms will cause a pull hook. Soften your arms and feel like you are throwing the club down the fairway. That should help.

I am not sure what sport you are talking about, but no matter the sport, take a hard look at your swing mechanics. There may be a slight problem with the way you are holding whatever it is you are swinging (it sounds like it might be a golf club), or maybe part of your motion may be slightly off. Have someone more experienced in your sport take a look at your swing and critique it. Good luck :)

watch your footing and hip swings. rotate the hips, don't stick them out. if you move your hip left or right, STOP, you should rotate it, not jut the hip out. and if you are hooking there is a good chance you need to stand farther away from the ball.
