Recently I've begun hitting high draws with my irons. This concerns me because a month ago I was battling the hooks. I know its tough without looking at my swing, but what might be causing this, if it wasn't happening a week ago. Could it be my position to the ball? To close, to far, to up in the stance? Thanks.

So...whats the problem? I'll take a high draw over a hook any day.

I am always fighting the hook and these are some of things that I do to prevent the hook:

1) Make sure my hands are further away from my body.
a) I am aware that my hands have to be further away from my body and I check this everytime as part of my pre shot routine.

2) check my grip position
a) I want to have a neutral grip.

3) make sure I am making a complete turn with my shoulder and hips on my back swing.
a) my take away is nice and slow to ensure that I make a complete rotation of my shoulders and hips, otherwise I have a tendencies to pull hook my shots.

4) Make sure the line I am taking my club back in not too inside.
a) I actually take the club on a straight line until I am parallal with the ground and my club is on line with the target then take the club straight up and I found that I can hit the ball straighter. If you take the club just outside the line on your backswing you can fade the ball.

5) I will swing at 80% - 90% percent
a) If I am not trying to hit the ball hard my tendencies is to pull hook the shot.

6) I have learned to fade the ball and draw the ball.
a) Once I have found my straight ball, now I simple turn the club face slightly closed and take my new regular swing for a gentle draw and to play a fade, I can take the club just outside the line on my backswing.

good luck.

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
