Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about ridding yourself of that pesky hook. You know all to often people working so hard to come from the inside that this shift that path way way way over the right field, and when they do that the actual release the club sort of the direction of where the faces is pointing and the direction where the path is are a long way away. We know that when the difference between the face in the path becomes very big we start to hit curvature big shots. So if you're hooking at the golf ball the 1st thing you do is audit so you are not swinging in the right field to put a head cover down on your target like right here and that should stop you from swinging in the right field because if you do you would hit the head cover.
The 2nd thing we want to do is we want to monitor the starting direction of the golf ball remember the ball starts mostly in the direction of the face. So if the face angle is too much to the left. The ball is going to start way left of our target andthen when it curves away from the path it is going to go further left. So if you put the head cover down right here and you work very diligently on stargint eh golf ball where you want. You will then have control of your path and your face but when the path is going one way and the face is going to go the other way on impact. If you get big dispersion of the face and the path that's when we get big hooks or you get slices. Usually hooks hits with to much on the inside and releasing it and when you do that the ball start left and it gos left. Fix your path and your strating direction and you will be much better and you won't hit hooks.
