I do a lot more tips for slicers than hookers simply because there seem to be more of them on golf courses. (Okay, that doesn't sound quite right but we'll press on. ;-) Anyway, this Night School video from Martin Hall has a very simple way to help stop your unwanted hooks.
As you recognize through now, I love simple fixes... And the less complicated, the better. The more complex a "fix" is, the less in all likelihood it is that you will be able to repeat it. But this grip tip is wonderfully simple. I'll even call it natural genius!
If you keep the club shaft parallel to the ground on your trailing hand and make sure that the face of the club appears immediately up on the sky -- Martin says the grooves are parallel to the floor, which means that the equal issue and it's just a matter of which notion helps you get the face in the suitable role -- if you preserve the membership this way and THEN take your lead hand grip so the again of that hand also faces the sky, you'll get a weaker grip.
And a weaker grip makes you less possibly to flip the clubface at effect and hook the ball.
So if you're hooking the ball and yet can't stop using a strong grip, this is a very simple tip to help you get a weaker grip on the club and do it consistently. Consistency is always the key to a permanent fix; if you can't do something the same way every time, you can't correct the problem.
Yes, I love simple tips. And that is a fantastic one if you have trouble with a chronic hook.
