Tips and swing thoughts to get rid of it.

Describe the types of hooks you're hitting... height, starting line, etc.

Not to hijack your thread OP but me and you are possibly in a similiar situation(probably not since your a 2 hdcp) so I'll post my problem and maybe iacas can chime in with his advice. The hooks i am hitting start slightly right of my target line and then quickly turn left and cut across the fairway with a ton of roll when it hits the ground(the ball flight is low to the ground). If my knowledge on ball flight laws are correct this should be from a slightly open clubface with a servere inside to out swing path. When I hit it good it will just be a 10-15 yard draw(not very often) that starts right and works back to the target line. Im almost positive its due to a severe inside to out path but im not sure how to straighten it out.

Thanks

I used to have the hook LIgolfer described. To remedy this it might seem counter-intuitive, but I would swing like I was trying to hit the ball left and this would help me get more inside and not only would I get a better angle and it would make it higher and farther, but it would eliminate almost all of the right-to-left action.

Now, if you're hooking irons, try leaning forward over the ball a little bit more. I often manipulate the back/forward lean for fade and draw shots.

Well, I fixed my hook with feeling like my hands go left after impact, trying to hit the butt end of the club into my left thigh. No more hook.
