Answer 1

try getting closer to the ball. being to far from the ball is the usual cause of a hook.

Answer 2

That's a good start that you know why you are hooking it. You could be coming out of the shot to early or your stance could be wrong which courses you to hit across the target line. Good Luck.

Have a good one...

Answer 4

If you know why you are hooking the ball, then modify the reason you are hooking. You don't need any tips.

Answer 5

put the ball a little more forward in your stance and try to roll your hands more,that seams to help me,CONCENTRATION

Answer 6

Your rotating the hands at impact, creating a closed face.  Your body is already anticipating the follow through before striking the ball.

At the minimum if you insist on not changing you release method...play the ball back an inch where you normally address the ball.  

Answer 7

Hooking usually comes from a possibility of 2 things.  Either you are swinging too hard.....or you have too much grip tension in the right hand ( It kind of takes over the swing.   the cure is relatively painless.....either take a bit off the swing if its an overswing....or just concentrate on keeping your right hand softer on the grip.  There are other things that could be causing it...but those are the 2 most common.
