I wanted to irradiate my occasional duck hook, so i had a lesson and he told me to work mainly on alignment. Now i tend to hit a fade on all shots, and my bad shot now is a push fade

Its almost as if I've forgotten how to draw a ball. And i would be really comfortable with a 5-10 yard draw on most shots.

And advise?

Thanks

8.5 Drive,

It's difficult to see because of the dark shirt you're wearing. But I noticed a few things that may be contributing to your occasional duck hooks.

1) Your left arm is bent and never looks fully extended. This might cause some inconsistency.

2) It looks like you're swinging too far back. I don't know if this by design and you want to swing like John Daly, but this might be robbing you of consistency as well.

3) I think you're swaying your hips back a little too much during the takeaway. (see image #2)

4) Image #4 shows some flipping action - early release of the club shaft. Here the face is likely to be closed resulting in a pull or hook.

I'd suggest that you 1st shorten your back swing and stop your takeaway sway. Then I'd work on fully extending your left arm.

I'm really not sure how you hit the ball with consistency taking the club that far back. If you do, kudos sir. But that was my main problem that I've been working on recently.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
