Woods - Why am I hooking?

[Ctam9]

I have been putting a 20 yard hook on my ball when hitting my woods and hybrid... now its not all the time but I would say 3 out of 5 shots hook. I know it could be a number of things but any ideas???

Thanks

you can be twisted your body too early as well as simply closing the clubface.

like you said it could be many things. alot of people submit these kinds of ?'s but its realyy hard to see without a video.


(sorry for my grammar and spelling. I am having alot of trouble typing with one hand)

If the ball starts out straight and curves left, its a simple case of the clubface being too closed at impact relative to your swing path. Your arms could be outruning your body, grip too strong, or ball too far forward. If the ball is starting left from the jump then you are actually pulling it with an over the top or outside in move.

What happened Dent? Injury? Could be coming over the top a little with a closed face, usually the most common I think.

In addition to what has been stated; check your alignment. You feet should point parallel to the target line and not at it. If you stance is too closed (front foot closer to the ball) it will cause many of the previosly stated things to happen, or at least contribute to it.

I had a similar problem earlier this season. The cure came when I intentionally started to grip the club looser, especially with my right hand (right-handed). Also, getting the grip in it's correct V-positions helps! Make an emphasis on getting the left hand and wrist in form during the down-swing.
