Hook Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

For many of you guys out there who hook the golf ball, it really stems from you trying to hit from inside. What's the inside? Well, if there's the golf ball and there's the target line or your ball to target line, then you as the golfer are on the inside. So everything towards you on the golf ball is inside. Everything away from the golf ball and you is outside.

Mentally, you want to hit a lovely little draw. So you're trying to hit from the inside, or you're trying to get the club traveling this way, but knowing that you don't want the ball to go over there, you're going to get in the face more towards the target. So if I've got the club traveling in that direction and I've got the club face, looking more towards the target, that's going to create a separation of the direction of the face and the path.
