how do you stop hitting pull hooks while hitting? i find i keep setting up right of the target a bringing the crossline delivery to the target instead of right of target? like the distance but my distance control is off..i like the fact that i keep hitting over the greens because i hate being short

Stop quitting through impact...Maintain a steady thrust down the Angle of Approach...then go into an Angled Hinge action...Make sure you maintain a paddle wheel motion to the right forearm instead of roundhousing....Someone else probably has better advice...

how do you stop hitting pull hooks while hitting?

Learn to straighten your Right Arm without Flattening your Right Wrist.

First without a Club...

Then with a Club...

Then with Club and Ball.

Today, for example, I hit 75 Chip Shots with my Right Forearm Flying Wedge only, monitoring my Bent Right Wrist at the end of the Follow-Through/Finish, Tracing the Plane Line with my Right Forfearm and #3 Pressure Point through-out the Downstroke.

And, also 75 Chip Shots with my Left Arm Flying Wedge, making sure I hit downward thought Impact and maintaining the Flat Left Wrist.

Finally, about 500 chip and pitch and bunker shots with both Hands.

It's how you get good.

Professor Turnip Greens,

It may be helpful to many if you could expand a bit on what you are focusing on when hitting these one handed chips. I have been doing this as well. My buddies are like "what the heck are you doing that for goofball?"

What is supplying the downward dimension in your Right Handed chips? What pressure points are you focusing on?

With the Left Hand, are you employing Sequenced Release? Automatic or Non-Automatic?

I totally agree . . . This is the way to get better. Tell me more tell me more . . .


Thanks!

I have difficulty getting a secure grip and keeping the back of the hand straight. I think the knuckle at the base of the little finger gets in the way and forces the grip up into the palm too much.

If I move down the grip where it is smaller it "feels and aligns" much better, except the thumb pad sits on top of my fingers.

If I hold the grip in reverse it actually seems to look and feel much better.

My glove wears out at the spot where the end of the grip moves around.

Any ideas?
