How do I fix a hook on my swing?

Posted by admin

I’ve been playing golf seriously for about 2 years. When I started out, like most people, I had a slight slice. After I fixed that, I seem to have over-corrected myself, and now I am really struggling with a bad hook. And it’s not just my driver, even my irons hook.

I have been to the range a lot lately, and I still can’t seem to fix it. I’ve tried changing my ball position, grip, and even back swing, but to no avail. Does anyone have any tips they could give me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The reason you are hooking, maybe you are releasing too early and shutting your face down too early. Or you could be your swing path. With out looking at your swing. I can only tell you how I fixed mine. On driver, I put the ball back a bit. Swing more out to in. You should start drawing it. Another thing that could be happening is also your swing has improve and you are swing with more speed and therefore you are impacting the ball early. Good luck.

Ok well I just started golfing, and I’m absolutely in love with it. Although when I drive the ball it slices to the right. I currently have some older hand-me-down clubs, I’ve heard some people say a new driver completely corrected their slice. I plan on having some lessons to become better, and I’m embarrassed of my older clubs. Should I get a new driver? And on golfsmith.com the TM 07 Burner is the 2nd highest selling product, good price, anyone own the club? Should I get it? Any other suggestions?

Taylormade makes the best and highest quality drivers on the Golf Market, but I’m doubting it’ll cure your slice. Slicing or hooking is caused by your golf technique and can be solved with your lessons. A new driver can, however, improve your distance, accuracy, and overall confidence. For a beginner I would totally recommend an R7 or a Burner driver. Don’t overlook the newer Taylormade R9, it’s good for players of all skill level if you don’t mind paying out the big bucks for it!

If you are looking for a driver with a quick fix to a slice, I suggest you try out a draw-faced driver, as it should straighten out your shots as long as you have the slice swing. Once your swing is fixed though, this type of driver could betray you.

Hope this helps!

Ten worst gifts to buy a woman?

Posted by admin

1. Never give a woman any kind of household appliance or something that is going to make "housework" easier. For instance, a blender, a toaster, a new vacuum, one of those mops they advertise on tv that does everything but suck the life out of you, anything in a informercial. One allowed choice is a new washing machine with a turbo spin cycle. (Makes laundry day go by pretty fast when you can at least sit on it during spin-dry and end up smiling the rest of the day.)

2. Any bulk cleaning supplies, "honey, I got you that large box of Tide you have been wanting." "This Windex should last you a while." "I got a good deal on the industrial strength toilet bowl cleaner." All I can say is, be prepared to run. I have faith that if you would have at least stopped and thought about what would be a much more intimate gift, you would have had the sense to spring for the $5 Chia Pet you were eyeing in Kmart.
3. Any sharp objects made by Ronco which slices or dices, or a set of ginsu knives. These may one day be used as a weapon against you when you come home with lipstick on your collar after a "night out with the boys."
4. Do not buy gifts for yourself and pretend they are for her. "Honey, I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of the new drill I bought you." By then she will have put it to good use by drilling a quarter inch hole into the side of your skull for even thinking she would accept such a lame gift. After a gift like this, you probably won’t be around for NEXT Christmas.
5. Any lingerie made of flannel, such as a pair of feet pajamas with a trap door in back. A Little Mermaid or Barney cartoon character nightgown. It gives her the idea that you do not consider her the beautiful woman that she is. Take out that wallet and buy her something sexy from Victoria Secret (just like you did for your mistress or other girlfriend).
6. No name perfume which costs you $1.99, such as Eu de Toilet, which actually smells like the bathroom, moldy fruit, or your dirty socks. If you are going to buy her perfume, spring for the brand names.
7. Any type of cubic zirconia jewelry you see on the Home Shopping Network. It will be quite embarrassing when she is showing off that fabulous diamond to her friends and tries to cut glass with it. (We actually test them you know.) Also, now would not be a good time to buy her that set of diamond nipple clamps you always wanted to, you know how we like to show off our jewelry and it could get embarrassing at the New Year’s party when she decides to show them off to your buddies.
8. Please do not buy her clothes because you think for one minute you have good taste in woman’s clothing. Well, perhaps you might if you are a transvestite, but all in all, believe me, she’ll smile and say its beautiful while choking back tears and mumbling under her breath, "were the hell would I ever wear this outfit without being arrested for bad taste?" An additional hint, plaids do not go with stripes (even though you think your golfing outfit looks just fine). Its a known fact to the rest of the world that that is a taboo. In the Northeast, thats like wearing white after Labor Day.
9. Do not give her a gift certificate to Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Most men would know better, especially the ones who have learned the correct response to "do these pants make me look fat." If you are one of the poor souls who still doesn’t get it and purchased a gift like this, be prepared for the silent treatment for a month. (Although that may be something you would actually look forward to.) A better alternative would be hiring a Chippendale dancer as a personal trainer to get her motivated into getting fit.
10. Last but not least, never buy a woman anti-wrinkle cream, or a book on "How not to be Nasty Sunday through Saturday." These are not considered gifts, they are considered reasons for seriously injuring the person who bought it and just may stand up in court of law.

Great list but I think I will keep that hidden away from the hubby. Lol

2 questions-

If the pro’s are correct, they say all clubs have the same swing.

I still cant figure this out. Even when I have swung with the correct adress and grip for shorter irons, it does not feel similar to my driver swing.

Currently Iam hitting driver very well, but all the sudden i lost the feel in my SW, and PW. The shots that once were 90-110 yds and high, are now 90-110 yard low line drives or worm burners. This seems to happen. When irons work-Driver slices, or when Driver works-irons are hit thin.

I see that some of the other answers have some great ideas. Especially, moving the ball back in your stance. Remember the driver is hit pretty much with the ball positioned close to your front foot, while a sand wedge should maybe be 2/3 of the way back, much closer to your back foot. You also may be raising up to hit the middle of the ball. MAINLY MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE BETWEEN YOUR EARS. JUST CONCENTRATE ON WATCHING THE BALL, RELAX AND DON’T TRY TO MAKE IT A CLUB THING. Almost all golfers go through times when one club just seems to work better than the others. Hang on, it will change again.
