19-min Anatomy of a Hook
Golf Instruction
•
18m
Welcome to the Anatomy of a Hook—a routine designed to help you understand why you hook the ball, so you can fix it for good. A hook isn't just a bad shot—it’s a symptom of swing issues like an overly closed clubface, poor sequencing, or too much hand and arm action through impact.
In this session, we’ll break down the most common causes of a hook and show you how your body movement—especially in your hips, shoulders, and hands—can influence your ball flight. Then, we’ll guide you through specific CardioGolf® exercises and swing drills to correct your pattern and promote a more neutral path and square clubface.
Understanding the "why" behind your miss is the first step to better ball control. Let’s dig into the root causes and build a swing that keeps your shots on target.
