Tips to Help You Stop Hooking The Ball From The Tee


If you are having troubles hooking the ball--especially from the tee--then you should spend some time to analyze what is causing this problem. It could be the result of a number of different things.

A lot of golfers believe that the equipment could be to blame for a lack of central flight on the golf ball, allowing the ball to fly wildly onto the heavy rough or into the sand and water hazards.

But what if your equipment is fine?--What could be the problem?

When you are truly hooking the ball, it is generally caused when your swing comes too far from the inside out. This causes excessive spin or "hook" spin. However, this is becoming less common as most players now swing from the outside to the inside to affect a pull slice.

If you want to correct this problem, the first thing you should do is check your stance. Your legs should be stretched out with your chin straight. This will produce a good spine angle, which in turn will provide a good swing plane.

A player who has a very strong grip with his right forearm below their left and his stance closed will cause the club with a closed face to come too far inside. Luckily, good alignment and posture can help eliminate this problem. The main thing to remember is that if you aren't hitting well, then your setup is more than likely the culprit.

In addition to this, you should also try to concentrate more on swinging straight down the target line. That is the best advice you can get if you are trying to avoid another wild hook shot. Stay calm and focused, keep your shoulders straight, and keep the golf club swing nice and short with enough power to make 200 yards seem like child's play every time you put your ball on the tee.
