    I feel stuck at the top of my backswing and have to go over the top and end up hitting a snap hook. I think my posture has become too upright. i keep going back and forth with my stance width and distance  from the ball. I seem to be ok with fairway woods and driver. i also think my chin got stuck too my chest. Any suggestions would br awesome!!

Really tough to say without seeing your golf swing.

Duck hooks aren't all from "coming over the top." You can hit a duck hook from well inside, too. Happens all the time.

That said… you probably need to learn that your arms work mostly up and down, and your body does the around, and start the "down" with the arms in the DOWNswing much sooner.

But without video… it's an educated guess at best. And not that educated, because we don't see what YOU are doing. It's just based on averages, what's commonly seen.

Thanks, i will work on video very soon. I always feel like i can't get to the inside which drives me crazy. I know that most hooks are from an inside out path with closed clubface but my ballflight seems out to in and smothered to the right.  It seems to get better when i consciously try to aimlefyt of the pin!! Thanks Erik

I meant smothered to the left sometimes high hook that goes forever and sometimes lately low runners

    • Day 312 - Better finishing position, fuller backswing, PRGR to see how swing speed was. 
    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.
