Day 10: 12/19/2024 Had another range session today bringing my new PPJ swing thought to the range. I'm hitting more and more good ones. Right now it's all block training so I get in some streaks where I'm getting the timing right and have several really good shots in a row. I realize I'll need to eventually work in some random training, but I'm not ready for that yet. As of now, practice is a lot of fun, because I can see results and I feel like I'm making progress. There will probably be very few range sessions over the next week or so. I plan to do a lot of mirror work and hit balls in the garage net. Once again, I also visited the PGA super store and putted around with several putters. ... just for kicks. -

Yeah, that's what I am suggesting OP check. If he does not have a grip issue then great. It's not unheard of grip issues causing duck hooks. Anyway I don't have a horse in the race. Good luck to the OP. -

I too fought the dastardly low duck hook something awful this year - as you say it is a round killer, absolutely demoralizing. I've golfed seriously for 14 years and this just crept in this year - CONSISTENTLY, never ever had to deal with it before. Like you, it only affects my driver, not hybrids/irons. So I fought it all year and spent alot of time trying everything under the sun to fix it. At end of season, after an incredible amount of work, I did fix it. It turned out to be a simple fix - it is a grip issue (for me). I always set up with my driver with club head lag like the rest of my clubs. My fix was to set up straight to the ball - NO LAG (no shaft lean). What this does is slightly rotate the grip in your hands ... automatically, You won't have to intentionally change anything with your grip. It will feel really weird, but lock in the grip with no shaft lean / clubhead lag & swing normally. Its pure f'n magic - completely fixed my low short duck hook without any other change in setup or swing, ball position, ball height, etc. Back to hitting nice high straight balls, even a tad of fade sometimes, which i'm fine with. Grip still feels really strange & I have to ingrain it in my muscle memory over the winter indoors, but can't argue with the cnosistent results the last 7 or 8 rounds of the season.... absolutely mind blowing what a simple little change can do. -

Now wrap the hand up onto the grip. You've gotta have a pretty extreme grip to have your trail hand in flexion. -
By GolfLug ·
It is hard to roll your trail palm underneath the grip (and further up in the palm) which puts the wrist in flexion? What am I missing?
