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 555 - 2026-04-09 Played 17 holes (we skipped 6 to pass a group letting us through). Hit more good shots than I was expecting. 😄 
    • Day 233 4-9 flow drill while focusing on better hip/chest rotation. Used mirror. 
    • Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon. Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.
    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.
