I normally am a good golfer but lately i have been hooking my driver.?

Question

Handicap (11) normal drive 260

Answer 1

You might have over active hands. Try putting a tee above your left thumb and try to keep it there with the palm of your right hand. Your right hand might be turning the club over too soon and closing the face. If the tee falls out during a practice swing, then you know that your right hand is too active.

Do you have offset on your driver? Some drivers for higher-handicappers have a slightly closed face. I used to have a Nike Square driver and was hooking because of this.

Answer 2

Check your ball placement before anything else.  If you are hooking only your driver I would say you have the ball out in front of you too much.  Move it closer to center and try this.  The other statement about your grip has some valor, but  you are not hooking all your clubs now are you.  Try this at the range so you can try many subtle movements.  It wont take much to show results.  Trust me I have been there.

Answer 3

Pay attention to ball positioning and grip strength. Usually the two main causes. Maybe if you're coming too outside on your backswing.

Answer 4

concentration is very important in golf be patient and your game will improve

Answer 5

ask some1 to watch ur shot and critique

Answer 6

I was having that problem earlier in the year.  What I found was that I was coming over the top and my right elbow was away from my body.  At impact my face was closed which really promoted the hook.  Practice keeping your right elbow close to your body and check your grip pressure.  Don't grip so tight.  This past Sunday I was launching missles straight down the fairway.
