To understand the hook shot 1st we've got to make sure we understand the distinction of what a hook shot is and then how we can hit one or how we can avoid hitting one probably be more important. Hooking golf ball is something that does not finish on target you cannot hook the ball onto a green you can hook the ball out of bounds and you can hook the ball into the rough but hooking the ball is generally not considered to be a good thing. A hook moves aggressively from right to left.
So it's a golf shot the for a right hander starts to the right hand side of the fairway and hooks to the left. There's all the versions of the hook shot as well sometimes golfers would talk about a pull hook so this is a ball that moves right to left but from the left. So if I came over the top of my swing set the ball off 10 yard left of the green and then it moved further left that would be a hook shot.
