How to fix a hook. So here we are we're at the range and we've got a problem with a ball flying and spinning too much from right to left. Now this is a very very simple exercise to combat the hook.

Step 2:
-
Hit the centre.
-
Now generally, the problem with the swing is that it comes too much underneath the plane or certainly the club/player attacks too much from the inside. Now if you actually hit this shot with these three balls as you can see they are in a diagonal position. The object for me here is actually to hit the center ball. But if I make a swing and the club travels too much from the inside I am going to make contact with more than one ball.
-
Step 3:
-
Take practice swings.
-
So what to do, just going to move my object ball away. I'm gong to get into my center position and I'm going to make one or two practice swings with the feeling that the club is traveling much more from the outside than coming in.
So combatting the problem of the hook. Get a couple of practice swings,get the feeling about the change in direction. I'm gong to hit or feel like it's going to go much more to the left and feel like you are actually playing a slice shot.
-
Step 4:
-
Play the shot:
-
Then you can put the ball back in there and ready to play the shot itself. So get into your position and make the swing, and that way will make a completely different contact with the golf ball but it least the club head will travel more in between those two outside golf balls. So you get a better idea from this angle on the location of where the balls are actually set up.
-
Step 5:
-
Hit the middle ball.
-
Again, talking about the main issue the fact that the swing direction and the plane, the club is traveling too much from the inside and it would make a connection with more than one of these golf balls. So the idea is that we are going to try to hit the middle ball.
-
Step 6:
-
Combating the hook.
-
Moving the center ball away going to have a couple of practice swings and feel and as you can see and I'll do it in a bit more slow motion that the club is traveling much more outside to win. Well, that's the feeling anyway. And then, putting the ball back in the center, getting into your center position and make the swing so then the ball will certainly start more on your swing direction which will be your target.
