Golf tips that can Improve your Game for Free
Golf - Cure That Hook In One Day!

For most golfers it is the golf slice that gives us the most
headaches out on the golf course. But, for many others who hook
the golf ball, the problem can be just as frustrating. So, how
can you stop hooking the golf ball and begin hitting more
fairways? It's easier than you might think and I'm going to show
you how to get immediate results.
* Stance - Position the ball in the middle or a little forward
in your stance. For most golfers who hook the ball I see them
position the ball too far back in their stance. You want to keep
the ball in the middle or even with your left heel (if you're
right-handed). Make sure you position your feet toward your
target line. Both of the tips of your toes should be even, or a
little to the left of the target line. This more open stance
will help reduce the chances of hooking the golf ball. Don't
position your left foot more forward in your stance than your
right. Keep them even.
* Grip - Grip the club with your hands facing straight down.
Golfers who hook the ball tend to set up with their right hand
facing too far toward the left side. You want to make sure the
"V" formation your hands create by holding the golf club is
pointing straight up to your nose. This will go a long way in
eliminating a golf hook. The other aspect to a proper golf grip
that will eliminate hooking the ball is grip strength. Try not
to grip the club too firmly. What happens with an overly firm
grip is that when you swing your right hand will turn over and
come around, automatically causing you to hook the ball. Use a
little less strength in your grip and you should immediately
start seeing better results.
* Weight - You want to be sure that after your backswing your
weight is more on your left foot. Many times a golfer will hook
the ball due to the majority of their weight being on their
right foot, or back foot. By doing that, you can rest assured
you will hook the golf ball every time. It creates a closed
clubface by forcing you to come around with the club. If you or
you see someone else hit a snap-hook, this is what happened. Be
conscious of where your weight is when you finish your golf
swing and you can correct this problem immediately.
These are just a few simple tips to help in eliminating that
dreaded golf hook. By simply going to the driving range and
putting these tips into practice you will start to see immediate
results that will translate into lower scores out on the course.
