I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 12

My typical ball flight is: hook and push/slice

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull hock


Videos:

Driver

And a good iron when i don't push the ball.

Im working to eliminate my overswing and across the line.

But i need know if the problem of my hook is a esagerate in to out path.

2 month ago my swing was out to in and i worked to change the path.

Welcome to the forum @Psyco .

It is a little tough to see due to the darkness of the video and you need to move back a bit on the driver video so we can see more.  Also, a face on view would help.

Any chance you could post another video?

Pull hooks look like they are happening because your lower half stalls on the downswing and you get stuck and just swing around yourself and get a pull hook, remember the downswing begins from the ground up sometimes even before the whole backswing is completed players will begin the downswing by initiating their weight shift and hip turn, to eliminate that hook get the lower body going more early.

The upper part of your right arm slides behind you (past the shirt seam) and that is causing some issues on the downswing. You don't really give yourself any room to swing the arms down so the wrists have to uncock early, shaft steepens out and the right elbow stays up and behind you. Going to lead to contact problems, pushes and pulls.

I recommend doing this drill.

Did you get a chance to work on the drill? Arms still look like they're sliding behind you.

Check out these thread, might need to add the feel that the right arm is straighter on the backswing.

I have see the video mvmac and i have try the correct move at home

Yep that's the idea. Just make sure to keep turning as the right arm feels straighter/elbow more in front (whatever your feel was).

Yes for you the chicken wing is a result of the arms sliding behind and the lack of weight shift on the downswing.

New video of progress

It's very difficult for me play with this move if it's correct.

I need more pratice

I have play yesterday with 90% of power with iron and driver. Much better, straight ball and good timing. No pull hook but only little draw  10 meters off from fairway and two driver center of the fairway.

Looks much better to my (fairly uneducated) eyes and the timing looks really nice - just that stall at the top that looks a bit odd. Keep working at it!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

The stall at the top is bad because my wrists give away and the club go down.

I have try many times to block my wrists but i have not been successful

Feel as though your swing stops when your left arm is horizontal. In other words, ridiculously short.

I work on my new swing in this holidays.

I have more problem to do the correct movement.

Yesterday i have play a nice louisiana with nice shot and a perfect driver. I have try to play a fade on every shot for stop my hands flipping in a devastate hook and this has succefull work.

Now i don't hook the ball but the flight is a little pull or fade 5-15 meters right to flag.

I try to coming more inside to the ball with passive hands for try to eliminate the fade effect.

For mvmacs and iacas: i work to sliding and short my backswing but is very hard for me. I need much more time and more pratice for resett my old swing.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
