Hook Shot – Learn How To Put An End To The Dreaded Hook Shot

In order to prevent hooking the ball, you must make sure that your hips are being turned properly into and through the downswing. When impact with the ball occurs, check your belt buckle, as it should be pointing towards your target, or at least very close to it. Your weight should also be shifted almost completely to the left foot.

Now take stock of your mental thoughts. You should be thinking of your arms and hands as passengers through the swing that are just along for the ride. In other words, your body should be the driving force behind the shot, with your arms and hands as passive as possible.

They should not be controlling the swing. A good analogy would be to imagine a bull whip and the tip of the whip is your hands and arms, which finally snap into motion at the last minute during impact.

Use A Video Camera

The best way to learn from your mistakes and fix your swing to prevent a hook shot is to utilize the power of videotape. Setting up a tripod with a cam recorder can take off months, even years of frustration from your golf game.

You can easily review your movements and tweak exactly what needs to be manipulated in terms of your shot. Better yet, if you can get an experienced golfer to watch you swing, through golf lessons, then take advantage of that option as well.

Adjusting Your Grip

The final step in eliminating the hook shot is to check your grip. Many golfers who have problems with hooking the ball tend to have a very strong grip with too many knuckles showing.

Weaken up your grip so that there is a maximum of two knuckles showing on your left hand at address. This little adjustment will help keep the club face opened up at impact and will reduce the chance of a counterclockwise spin on the ball (for right-handed golfers).

Final Tip: Another quick tip would be to move upwards in your stance in order to give the clubhead a bit more travel time before impact. This adjustment should only be about an inch or so. By giving your clubhead more travel time, you enable it to leave the inside path and move in a straight line, thereby creating less chance of spinning the ball into a hook.
