The Hook


The Golf Channel Academy Live presents David Leadbetter, of David Leadbetter Golf Academy, headquartered in Orlando, Florida. This instructional is about the hook.


A player who hooks the ball usually has a swing that comes from the outside, which in turn, automatically sets up the dreaded hook.


To cure the hook, the player should concentrate more on swinging down the line. In fact, you actually learn how to cut the ball during this procedure.


Another important fact is to remember to practice with the ball below your feet. This allows you to swing straight through at the target.


When you finally swing, make sure your hands stay to the left and your club face is open.
