snap hooks

[flatom]

Periodically, I will hit a snap hook off the tee. Usually when I go after the long ball. I get so inside that I flip with my right hand for some reason. I am a low handicap player and have explored the usual suspects for this hooking but nothing I try so far has worked.
Any ideas for a newbie on this site.

See if any of these these help out: - Make sure you are not swaying on your backswing (head stable over the ball) - Extend during your back swing (left arm straight) - Don't "cast" the club to start your downswing (drive the butt-end of the club at the ball for your first movement) - Make sure your right shoulder is going "under" your left and you are not swinging across

Snap hooks are typically caused my improper weight shift - staying back through impact. Your arms and hands try to compensate and you come through over released and way too closed. Finish the swing balanced.

What about not making a good shoulder turn?

absolutely. i have the tendency to sometimes not make a good shoulder turn which makes it more of an arm swing and more upright. making the good shoulder turn is one of my major swing keys.
