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.
