Does anyone have an idea why my fades have turned into pull hooks? I have been more conscious of my grip and not drastically setting up left but the ball still seems to star left and curve even more left. The shots also tend to come off low to medium launch angle. Before my intended shots would start left of target and spin back to the left side or middle of fairway leaving me with clear shots to the green.

I love you Nicole Aniston

Your Club face has just closed on you leaving with an out to in swing path with an closed club face relative to your swing path.

What should you do?

Try weaking your grip...

Perhaps, but I'd keep the pressure point under your lead arm and chest more intact through impact and swing left more, obviously maintaining a clubface that's just left of the target.

A lot of duck hooks come from a face being a little left-pointing of the target, with a path well to the right.

It's possible that even though I am set up to swing out to in I could be swinging more right than left?

I wish I had a video to post but thank you for your feedback.
