Do THIS To Stop Hooking Your Driver ๐Ÿคโ›ณ๏ธ

It’s the worst possible feeling stepping up to the first tee and snap hooking it into the trees. Let me show you how to fix it. Hooking the ball usually comes from flipping your hands over, but mainly because your torso is slowing down through the swing. If you don’t keep the speed up with your chest as you come down and through, your hands have no other option but to flip over to try to square up the face. So, what I want you to feel is that the center of your chest is driving the down swing and it needs to accelerate through the ball almost like it’s making impact instead of the face. A lot of people do this, but then try to hold off the face and not close it, but then that just leads to open face, weak slices. We need to keep the speed up with our chest and allow our hands to naturally release through the shot. I recommend starting out super slow, 50, 60% shots, feeling like your chest is the driving force in the down swing, and your arms are just along for the ride. This is why so many people tend to hit the ball better when they swing hard, is because their chest comes down and through with speed. Their arms are along for the ride, releasing naturally and the face is staying square.

    This problem drove me nuts for years. It could show up right in the middle of a round whether I was playing good or bad. I finally figured out that my hands were racing through the ball before my torso (as you said). I actually found three causes:
    1. My torso was stalling. The fix is exactly what you recommend.
    2. Bad footwork. My torso would drift over my right leg actually pushing my weight to the outside of my back foot. There is no recovery from that position.
    3. I jumped the kinetic chain with a grab form the top. This is a harder fix.

    I found something that covers all three and has produced consistent good results with the driver. I setup with my feet together with the driver head 8" back from the ball. I slowly step forward putting the left foot into position. Then I have the driver follow the right foot back to initiate the backswing. Coupling weight shift with the backswing creates a sturdy natural pivot on the right leg. Also all of that momentum pushing the hands to the top of the backswing creates a tiny pause long enough to grab the kinetic chain. So far so good.

    I find the main reason I do this is when I grip the club too tight. My hands break to early closing the face.
    Relax the hands and swing smooth. Accelerate through the hitting zone. Your hands will not let go.

    I always recommend golfers with this problem go back to simply swinging the club without a ball on a tee. Swing the club back and forwards until you hear that swishing sound. That sound can only be generated when body and arms are in harmony. You will notice how the hips naturally rotate with the arms and the hands accelerate the club head. Keep that rhythm in mind when you then stand over the ball. And above all remember how relaxed and loose you felt when swishing the club and keep yourself from going back to that tense and robotic swing.
