The hook can be an extremely destructive shot. When the ball veers violently right-to-left in the air it signals disaster for your scorecard. A common cause of the hook is the hands working too far out toward the ball in the downswing, which causes the clubhead to get stuck on the inside and the clubface to go through excessive rotation through impact. A good grip, set-up, and swing may contribute to avoiding unwanted hooks, letting you hit the ball true for a straighter shot.
First comes checking your grip. Make sure your right hand grips the club correctly. You should put it on the club from exactly the same position as when your arm hangs free from your shoulder. Your wrist must be straight, so your hand does not bend beneath the club, and put your left thumb straight into the groove of your right hand. If you grip correctly, your right thumb will point straight at your right shoulder.
Balance has been always stressed in many drills. Make sure you set up with your weight on the balls of your feet. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet during the back swing, and your upper body at a constant angle throughout the swing. This allows you to swing the club freely in front of your body, so it is easy to follow through. If your balance and upper body position are good, you will finish your follow through with your right shoulder below your left.
Take a correct swing. The action in the swing is just like any other in which you want to direct power forwards, throwing a ball, playing tennis or throwing a javelin. On your down swing, you should start turning from your legs, and let the rotation travel up your body. The earlier the lower body rotates through the ball, the later the club gets to the ball. This reduces the chance of the clubface closing before impact and curving the ball to the left.
