So I've been struggling with a pull and pull hook, I've done everything possible to correct this, emphasis in to out swing path that results in a a huge push, driving my left hip through agressively  witch is resulting in poor contact at best, the only thing that is working for me is I've changed my swing with my driver where I over rotate in my back swing where I lose eye contact w the ball but am making great contact and hitting it relatively straight just struggling w having confidence in this new found swing for the obvious reasons, wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this? Thanks

Post your swing! Go to member swings thread and post! Best way to get help, and doesn't take much time at all. 

But as a quick check, look at grip, posture, ball position, and balance.

Most hooks come from a swing path that is too far inside-out, pull hooks included. 

Face left of target, path anywhere right of face = Pull hook.

Another recommendation to start a swing thread.

Also I want to point out the the direction the ball starts is determined by where the face is aimed at impact. So the pull hook doesn't necessarily mean the path is across the ball.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
