Today’s lesson will teach us “How To Cure a Golf Hook in 4 Easy Steps”. If you have been struggling with a golf hook you know how annoying they are. More than likely, most of your friends are slicing the ball, (which really isn’t any better) and your game is played on the opposite side of the fairway from theirs.

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 of the target (aim right if left handed) – Begin with an open stance toward your target. This will enable you to put that clockwise rotation on the ball the you need. Just open your stance a little, 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.
