How To Cure That Golf Duck Hook in 4 Easy Steps

In this lesson we are going to focus on “How To Cure That Golf Duck Hook”. If you have a bad golf hook that is adding a lot of extra strokes to your game you know how frustrating they can be. While most people out there are slicing the ball, you have the opposite problem and are playing on the other side of the fairway.

But… the hook really is pretty easy to cure. Try this sequence of corrections, and most likely the hook will be fixed in no time. Your goal in correcting a hook is to swing from outside to in.

1. Grip the Club More Loosely – Golfers who have a bad hook commonly play with a grip that is too strong. By simply rotating your hands around the grip toward the target, you can make it much harder for the clubface to be “closed” through the impact zone. Remember to test each grip, to see what gives you the best results. Once you are playing with a loose grip move on to the next golf tip.

2. Set the ball forward in your stance – Players who have a golf slice tend to position the ball forward in their stance. Since we hook the ball, this wouldn’t be a bad thing for us to do. So, let’s copy them. (It doesn’t matter if you have a slice or a hook, if you want to correct it, the first thing you should do is learn how to do the opposite.) Setting the ball forward in your golf stance will get you well on you way to curing that nasty hook.

3. Aim to the left (to the right if left handed) of the target – Start out with an open stance to the target. This will put that clockwise rotation on the ball that you are looking for. Just open your stance a little bit, and swing along the line of your shoulders.

4. Be sure to finish the swing with your weight on your front foot – This is by far the best solution to cure the golf hook. Most golfers who hook the ball finish with some of their weight on their back foot. This will cause a closed clubface at impact, and result in a hook. Focus on finishing your swing with all of your weight forward, and that nasty golf hook should not be a problem any longer.
