6 Tips To Stop Hooking Your Driver

Golf is a game where a lot of body movement is involved. 

It is vital to be aware of the body rotation, balance, and holding the grip perfectly, so you can hit the target successfully. 

However, sometimes it is not possible to get exact movement and many golfers face problems with hooking the driver. 

Here are 6 tips to stop hooking your driver which we will discuss in detail but let us first talk about how and in what way do people hook the driver. 

The curve path which is created while swinging towards the player is known as the hook. 

The hook is created when the curve is created from the inside of ball to outer side where the ball spins towards the golfer. 

Driver refers to the ability of golfer of using the club. 

6 Tips To Stop Hooking Your Driver 

The hook is created because of a swing and the swing must be right. 

Therefore, pay attention to the flight of the ball to fix the swing which will fix the hook. 

So, at the moment of impact, you need to consider 2 things. 

1. Your Swing In Conjunction With Target Line

The way you swing via impact in conjunction with the target line and also the position of the club face. 

2. Make Proper Grip While Hooking

The second thing is to make the proper grip while hooking which is an important tip. 

When you hold the club with your left hand, you only see 2 knuckles and not more than that, else it will cause a hook. 

If you do not see knuckles at all, then it will cause a slice. 

3. V Formation Between Left Hand Knuckle And Right Hand Thumb

There should be a V formed between the knuckle of the left hand and thumb of the right hand. 

Both of which must focus on your right ear and right shoulder. 

4. Align Your Body With Target Line

Third tip is in relation to the second, where you need to align your body adjacent or parallel to the target line. 

So, fix the grip and then the alignment. 

5. Address Your Face Angle

Next, address the angle of your face where your club face should face directly to the target. 

Closing the face can hit a hook so you need to be careful. 

6. Work On Shoulder Alignment

Then work on the shoulder alignment is equally important where you should not concentrate only on the right. 

It gives inside out swing so it is necessary to pay attention to the shoulder alignment and feet. 

Moreover, fix the swing path so you can get your target. 

There tips can be implemented to bring some effective movements and eliminate hooking the driver completely. 

The grip plays a vital role. 

It should not be too strong nor weak. 

It should be perfect. 

You must be able to see 2 knuckles only on your left hand else the hook may be produced and if less than that are seen then slice can be produced. 

Shoulder alignment, being parallel to the target is equally important. 

So, start practicing new moves and get rid of your hook.
