pull hooks

[dale47]

We had some decent weather here in the northeast and I thought I'd get some range work in. Unfortunately, the pull hook I ended the season with is still with me. Everything I hit is starting left and drawing further left. Even when I get one started strait, it curves at least 15 yds. left at the end of its flight. I am not sure if my shoulders our coming over plane or its a hinge problem ? Any thoughts appreciated.

sounds like outside in swing path with closed clubface, if so very common

Sounds like a good swing with a bad path.

You need to swing more out to the right. As Brian would say, "Swing under the stick!"

Dale,

Think about this:

At the top of the swing, the clubface is about 90 degrees open.

You simply need to KEEP the clubface in its TOP OF THE BACKSTROKE condition—longer into the downswing.

If you do, you will never pull hook it again,

Now....you may ask....

HOW do I do that?

Well start wuth this: stay right palm up as long as you can,

Report back.
