I would think aiming too far right and having to come over the top (high right shoulder) to get the ball headed towards the target might be a cause.

WHat is the cause of a double cross? In this instance it is a cut that gets pulled left.

If you are playing the cut (aiming left of target) your clubface must be too closed at separation....grip a tad too strong perhaps?....

Interesting. I have always had pretty good success swinging like Freddy Couples, particularly since I saw a Swing Vision coupled w/ a thought from Brian re: the arms. I am open to the target, club at target, lift up along feet line and turn to get the club "laid off" to setup or square down target line. All I have to do then is drop it. However, I occasionally hit some good pulls. I have a pretty std grip, not like FC. Could it be ball position?

Maybe, could be a little too far up and the face is shutting on you

The ole double cross

I knew her well.

I still occasionally hit the "I am aiming left for my fade, but I wind up hitting a pull." I call that a "single-cross." That would be caused simply from lack of axis tilt and not open enough torso.

But, the "I am aiming left for my fade, but I wind up hitting a pull hook" official "double-cross" is a whole other ball-o-wax.

:)

To hit the "I am aiming left for my fade, but I wind up hitting a pull hook official 'double-cross' shot," you need to basically try to push fade it, by swinging OUT on it too much, and have a lack of axis tilt and not open enough torso, which help the club close too fast.

Also, making a "draw" backswing won't help a bit.

Solution?

More of a straight back and up backswing, less axis tilt at the top, follow the "yellow brick road" and swing left enough, AND have more axis tilt and an open enough torso.

Kinda like the "Never Hook Again 1.0" pattern.
:D

LOL for once I think brian is too complicated. Just open the face more on the same path that pull occurred and it will fade. Simple solution :p
