Hook gone.........new problem

[curtisj76]

Ok, my hook is starting to get under control but now my miss is a push with a little fade at the end. When I was hooking it was either a hook, draw, or push. Now the hook is going away but the push is drifting off to the right. Any idea?


PS I figured out my hooks were coming from an extremely closed stance.

Thanks

maybe your just aimed right?

Sounds like you might just be hangin on a bit. Keep your pivot moving left.

That or your push is actually where your aimed

you didn't fix your hook, you just learned to open the face and continue to swing the same amount to the right thus the push and/or push fades.

exactly what jim said.

just as a followup, if you want to cure the hook you need to work on fixing your path before fixing the face. Ever try brians towel drill?

No Jim, I don't think I've heard of a towel drill. Care to explain? Thanks
