Pull or Hook!!!!!!!!

[imran_ali]

Evening guys. Last week I got my CF JPX 800 Pros and on monday I hit my PB for the year. Unfortunately I can not stop pulling or hooking the ball, to the extent that I have started compensating for it......NEED HELP as I have got a medal tomorrow morning!!!!!!!

Are you saying you hit a PB for the year while pulling and hooking? If so, you have no problem

 

[imran_ali]

Hawkeye I certainly did....lol PW,9 and 8 generally go straight but the problem is the 7,6 and 5!!!!

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Sadly I'm only just in control of my own swing so don't feel qualified to advise anyone else - except maybe don't use your 7,6 or 5 iron?

If i T off the REDs then I think I may get away with using my wedges lol

I'm guessing if your fit was right it is the ball position but without seeing a video its going to be hard for anyone to give a definitive answer

Well, there I was about to try and help...

check your grip, is it very strong?

I'm in the same boat! Shot 2 pbs but 5i and rescue and leaking out to the left! Everything else is bang on!

If it's pulling you're maybe too quick from the top, keep rhythm slow and start the downswing in order hips, torso, shoulders, don't let hands and arms lead the downswing.

Hooking you may be sliding hips instead of rotating hips so body doesn't clear out of the way and you're getting in a bad position.

If you're releasing the clubhead too quickly which can cause hooks, swing a few times with all your fingers interlocked on the grip to get a feeling of good clubhead release timing.

Ball position is unlikely to be the reason imo.

Good luck in the medal.

Pulling the ball could be a result of lunging at it with the arms from the top, hooks i find are when i stay behind the ball and flip my hands at it. A good tempo and weight transfer is the key. Clear yr hips and think ernie els

thanks for the help guys........just going to go with a clear head and hope for the best.

Take a proper golf break, you're over analysing, tired and golfed out!

I went to the range and (touch wood) I think I sorted it.
