Does anyone have an idea why my fades have turned into pull hooks? I have been more conscious of my grip and not drastically setting up left but the ball still seems to star left and curve even more left. The shots also tend to come off low to medium launch angle. Before my intended shots would start left of target and spin back to the left side or middle of fairway leaving me with clear shots to the green.

I love you Nicole Aniston

Your Club face has just closed on you leaving with an out to in swing path with an closed club face relative to your swing path.

What should you do?

Try weaking your grip...

Perhaps, but I'd keep the pressure point under your lead arm and chest more intact through impact and swing left more, obviously maintaining a clubface that's just left of the target.

A lot of duck hooks come from a face being a little left-pointing of the target, with a path well to the right.

It's possible that even though I am set up to swing out to in I could be swinging more right than left?

I wish I had a video to post but thank you for your feedback.

    • 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.
