Snap hook driver around 80 yards left 6 iron consistent 30 yards left from 170 help

[Neilshawx]

So this comes and goes but last night during a match I hit 6 drives and all snap hooked about 80 yards left of the target line, all my irons pull left also.
I’m a quick player play off 6 but this is just out of the blue. My swing is also long and I can’t shorten it.
The only clubs that go where I want are wedges.
Any ideas?

if you have one of those days just set with your club face little bit open before you grip your club

I had a similar problem, pulling things left, longer clubs were low hooks.

I am now striking it a lot better and the answer was........


Get a lesson

The pro saw what I was doing wrong - regripping the club before backswing, swing was on wrong line, and I was trying to hit the longer clubs too hard instead of letting the club do the work. A few lessons and some practice and now loads better.

A snap hook is often caused by the fear of a snap hook.
The subconscious doesn't want to hit it left so stops turning left.
The hands and arms overtake the body, flipping the clubface shut and left.
Cure.
Turn your left side hard out of the way and your hands won't overtake you.

Grab an old iron you don’t care about and head to a field you can’t hurt someone or break anything. Grip it toe towards the target line and take a swing where you let the club fly towards the target. The likelihood is you’ll hang onto it and it’ll end up somewhere where between 90 degrees left and 180 degrees from the target. You need to let the body release without coming out of posture (early extending) and also release the club to hit the target.

This is my fix whenever I get the lefts as I get a stall/block release trying to play too safe. Thank me later when you get a distance jump for less effort.

Your swing paths in to out and your clubface is shut.

Yeah fixes a lot that drill it’s actually crazy how “early” you have to let that club go if you’re a puller or slicer

Can you explain this again, i don't quite understand it.

My miss is generally a pull left with irons and a hook with driver. Not very often but it does happen.

I think he means you to release the club so that you are launching down the line you want it to go. You literally let if fly (hence why you use an old club and go to somewhere no one else is so that it is safe)

Keep swinging and launching the club until you are releasing it down the line required.

That is how I read it.

Yes that makes sense now!

Ill borrow my mates club to try that

Your swing paths in to out and your clubface is shut.

You can nearly guarantee that the grip will be strong somewhere. Either left hand , right hand or both. Likely to dip the right shoulder and bump the hips too much creating a big in to out path.

Is the ball starting right, straight or left of target?

He means actually throw the club, first video I ever saw on this was by Shawn Clement.
