Drills for a low burner hook off the tee box?
Posted on 9/9/17 at 2:26 pm
Posted on 9/9/17 at 2:26 pm
It's not really a duck hook, and almost looks more like an intentional draw. It's generally still playable, but I can't seem to straighten it out when I just want to hit it down the middle, and I'm losing distance.
I've read about what could be the cause, and it doesn't seem to be my grip. Have read some other things as well but kind of hard to explain.
Would appreciate any drills or tips. TIA
Eta this is basically only with my woods/driver

Try moving the ball up in your stance. I know it sounds like you should do the opposite but this worked for me.
Also try keeping the left side of your body in a straight line throughout backswing and get most of your weight to your right side, pause at the top and make sure you transition your weight back to left side on the downswing. Having the ball too far back in your stance prevents this.
Hope this helps.

Weaken your left hand (rotate to the left) grip just a smidge.

Sounds like you're trying to hit the ball. Try sweeping the tee rather than hitting the ball. You might have to tee it up a bit higher.

Put a tee 6 inches behind and about and half an inch outside your ball and make your club go over it on the back swing.
Or just play for it. If it's a consistent draw and not too extreme, could be a good thing if taken into account.

Just pull the ultimate hack move and get a XX stiff shaft and load up the toe of your driver with lead tape.

Yeah Bud, or head on down to dicks to get fitted for those sick Cobra drivers you and your BAWS are out there gaming. The 19 handicap guys at dicks know what they are talking about, especially when they crank up the launch monitors.

First, are you saying all crobra drivers suck?
Second, are you that much of a dick that you use a high HC and shopping at a specific store to be the ultimate insults?

First - Yes they do suck, there is a reason titliest/acushnet dropped them. If you think otherwise, you and Douchambeuax can go work some math problems to prove me wrong.
Second - Yeah, I am going to say that...because half the idiots on these boards think going to get fitted for a driver at a glorified walmart sports department store by someone that can't break 90 will help their game. Pretty obvious it's justified to say DICKS sporting goods isn't an ideal place to get a club. Please tell me how buying an off the rack club and having someone that "fits" you for shafts based on what they see Rickie Fowler playing will help your game. Get over yourself, you are a hack.

You lost Bud.
Go ahead and start a first tee program, you bleeding heart sympathist. Hold hands and join your pull cart brigade with all those that are proud to fire off a 95, and walk forward in your pursuit of a 6 hour round, in that all those that desire to buy a stock cobra driver from dicks shall prosper in their journey to lower their handicap from 20. You are really doing the Golf God's work, so thank you. Please keep these hacks on the local munis and off the courses I play.

Will gladly beat your arse on your home course.
Given your sympathetic banter, I feel it is worth noting I play by the traditional rules not the BS USGA rules that are being implemented at this time.
Edit - Sweet emoji man, what are you like 40 trying to seem cool? Bring your fricking game to the table and lets play.

You care to respond like a man and not a bitch?
Where do you play? More than welcome to come up to Atlanta there BAW. Quality of courses far exceeds whatever dog track you play at on the reg.
Come on and bring it - if you are capable of answering in a cohesive manner.
