Stop sliding and coming to much from the inside or rolling the hands over early. Loosen your arm tension and TURN the lower body harder to initiate the downswing. That will cure most hooks. (or take a weaker grip) This show is just band aids anyways. Don't know why I care.
this is actually a good tip...my swing was moving into a massive hook from a draw...with this tip u may feel like ur going to put too much slice spin but ur not..like butch harmon said what u feel and what ur doing are 2 different things..i find i can still hit a draw on command with this drill w/o having to worry about hooking tha ball..remember with the drill u will only "feel" ur going across the target line..u wont actually do that...even michael breed wasn't doing that in the video
That's not how you correct a hook and hit it straight.. Coming across the ball only makes it spin clockwise and cut or slice to the right. I used to have that problem until I fixed my swing and stopped coming over the top/ coming across it.
that was uncalled for when want a player has a problem wether is taking the club to much to the inside in the takeaway it's good to exchange that habit with the exact opposite take the club more infront of you a la butch harmon so in order to fix a hook youa actually have to incoperate more of a fade swing so this is a pretty good tip.

@f0cusen check out my swing, i cant figure it out even at times my ball will start on line and still hook tremendously. ive checked my grip and everything too.

When you have a problem with a hook or a slice and in order to fix it you just need to incoperate a slice or a hook swing do the opposite it works.
yes i used to have a slice but now have a hook, this might bring on a nice straight shot for a while but eventually cause a slice. I had a slice and doing this in reverse is what has caused me to develop my hook. So really you've just got to slow down your swing and aim on playing the club straight through the ball then gain speed as you progress.
@TheMxWatch put tees under your arms to help keep your arms connected to your body, a hook can often result from your arms coming off your body in the through swing causing a severe in to out swing path. Releasing the club, or flipping the club will just make you start to slice it.

@Bigsheesh Gotta agree with you here. I don't want to lose my draw when I'm hitting it right. The problem is snapping the club over to fast or a bad angle down on the ball.
@Bigsheesh If you dont hit hooks the same way he showed in the video, then you will get a slice. This just counteracts the spin that gets the hook and makes it go straighter. This is mostly just a temporary fix until you can straighten it out.
:52 would cause more of a slap or fade or weak ball flight. 1:33 I think you gave him a recipe for a slice that he may not be able to get rid of. Hook Fix- Check ALIGNMENT, Especially your feet. Then check SPINE ANGLE make sure it's constant throughout swing. At the top, focus on proper WEIGHT SHIFT while letting your arms and club DROP into the slot. Thats where the power is. Then release the club extending fully to the finish. After practice and patience, it will be easier to repeat.
@oddbot65 I think what you are doing is that your body stops turning in the downswing and your hands get really active and you flip your hands you stay to much on the right leg and from there you flip your hands through impact or your hips are to active and you get stuck and from there you have to correct that with your hands and that can cause you to hit a hook. So try to minimize your hand motion through the ball. Hope this helps
@f0cusen Exactly! I've been fighting this tendency for a while now. Starting to have better luck. I say "stand taller and a little closer to the ball.

What a terrible tip. Generally speaking, Michael breed is a good teacher but this is not correct IMO. Most of the time the hook
Is caused from too strong of a grip or an over-release/deceleration right at impact. Outside to in is not the way to go again, IMO.

You can't fix a hook swing by teaching a slice swing! There is no cure except correct form.
