Welcome to the site. The hooks are coming from the right heel coming off the ground too early causing the hips to shoot out towards the ball. This will make it hard for your body to "turn the corner".

Here's what I would focus on.

Focus on that one thing for now. Also when you post another video it would be best if you were hitting a ball. Gives us a better idea of what's really going on.

I really should have taken the video with my 7 iron cause i hook the ball much much with my longer irons. I actually tend to push my irons. They usually have a baby draw but start off right a lot of the time. I almost have to aim slightly left. I tend to push all my wedges and my 9 iron. Heck it seems im either hooking,pushing or its a perfect baby draw.

It's fine, the swing doesn't really change.

Hey guys. Ive been working on what was in the video. Ive been having an issue with my longer irons. I usually have either a baby fade or baby draw on my shorter irons. With my longer irons, think 7-4n ive been having a pretty large hook. Its interesting cause im pretty accurate with wedges, usually a baby fade. Help?

You have been offered help by a pro. Take it. :)

Continue to work on getting your weight forward by rolling your ankles. Don't worry about club choice right now, your swing flaws are your swing flaws. You may get different results with different clubs, but it's the same issue.

For video, you don't need someone to film you. If you're using a smartphone, get a cheap phone holder. It's pretty easy. Make sure to do it while hitting a ball.

Good luck!

I have been working on it. Thats not the issue. I was wondering if anyone would have a guess why im only having a major hook with my longer irons and not my shorter ones.

So played a practice round today focusing on weight transfer and tempon and not over swinging. It went alright but my game just wasnt on. Had some nice shots. Also worked on my grip and worked on driving. I realized i had been bending my left elbow and flipping my hands some and when i corrected it the ball starting flying. Had. A couple 320 yard drives and a couple more 285 yard drives when i mishit. The slice has come back a bit though. Frustrating.

I feel like ive improved on it. I read most of the hip slinding thread so during my backswing im focusing on rotating and not swinging my weight back then forward and that really helped. I feel a lot more balanced then im fousing on "pushing off with my right instep" to kind of get my hips slinding. Also taking easier swings with better tempo has helped improve my heel on ground and weight forward much easier.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
