In this lesson we are going to focus on "How To Cure That Golf Duck Hook". If you have a bad golf hook that is adding a lot of extra strokes to your game you know how frustrating they can be. While most people out there are slicing the ball, you have the opposite problem and are playing on the other side of the fairway.
However,... the golf hook is usually really easy to fix. Use these simple golf tips, and more than likely that nasty golf hook will be corrected in no time. Your focus when correcting a golf hook is to learn how to swing from the outside to inside.
1. Grip the Club More Loosely - Golfers who have a bad hook commonly play with a grip that is too strong. By simply rotating your hands around the grip toward the target, you can make it much harder for the clubface to be "closed" through the impact zone. Remember to test each grip, to see what gives you the best results. Once you are playing with a loose grip move on to the next golf tip.
2. Position the ball forward within your stance - Golfers who have a slice usually play the ball forward in their stance. Copy what they do. Since you have a hook, the result should be a much straighter ball. (Remember: It doesn't matter whether you hook or slice the golf ball, your first goal is to learn how to do the opposite.) If you position the ball forward in your stance you will be well on your way to curing that golf hook.
3. Aim to the left of the target (aim right if left handed) - Begin with an open stance toward your target. This will enable you to put that clockwise rotation on the ball the you need. Just open your stance a little, and swing along the line of your shoulders.
4. Finish With Your Weight On Your Front Foot - More than likely, this is the tip that will have the best chance of curing that golf hook for good. Many hooks are caused by golfers who finish their swing with some of their weight on their back foot. Doing this will force you to come around the ball with a closed clubface. So practice finishing with all of your weight forward to get rid of that nasty golf hook.
