You'd want a good high-speed down-the-line video to help confirm, but I suspect a lot of your hooks are of the straight-draw variety and a result of the lower body "sagging" here rather than exploding to allow the turning rates to continue. Look at your left knee and where your hips and chest are pointing, and your right arm relative to your left.

Thanks Iacas. You're right, my hooks are generally draws that start a bit too straight or even left. Actually my stock shot is a fade.

To confirm, what you are suggesting is that I straighten the left leg a bit quicker in order to keep the hips rotating through the ball?

Yes with the weight forward to "explode" more. As described in the video.

I can see that and I do consider myself very fortunate. Can't wait to try these simple (and now I come to look at it, 'obvious') tips.

Just bumping this thread simply because I went out and worked on the advice from iacas and mvmac in an explosive turn of the hips. Scores and handicap have been coming down ever since. Shot 67 gross in my clubs January medal.

Thanks Guys. Much appreciated.

      And if he wins (gasp) the British Open, the hat will be an homage to Mr. Morris. Equal opportunity opportunist. Heh.

      Still not happy with Bryson's lies. For example, just yesterday: The hat was because of Payne. Years ago he was on record as saying it's because of Ben Hogan. The wall at SMU for Payne Stewart that he says made him decide to go there… didn't exist until after he'd begun taking classes at SMU. Both lies feel awfully "convenient" because he won at Pinehurst.

      Launch Angle With Driver

      By saevel25 ·

      Launch angle is a mix of dynamic loft and angle of attack. Dynamic loft including the loft of the driver and how it is influence at impact by your swing and by the golf shaft.  Odds are you have a negative attack angle. Yes, hitting it low on the club face can decrease launch angle to. Unless you can get the full set of stats, hard to tell what is going on.  Depends on the width of your stance. Rory has a super wide stance, so his all position is inside his lead heel, but it is forward in his stance.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 592, June 17, 2024 Played 18 holes pausing near the top of the backswing (may not have actually looked like a pause if you were watching me). Hit a 6I about 195 (flew the entire green) and a few other shots long, but… overall, pretty happy. Occasionally was lazy with the arms.

      You are absolutely right he never mentions LIV in his videos. The only reason he has his LIV team's logo on hat and shirt is a contractual obligation. And there is nothing phony about his fan interaction - one only has to go back and look how he interacted with fans at the President's cup and Ryder Cup. I hope the President's cup captain has the "presence of mind" to select Bryson as a Captains pick.
