hooking with divot inside behind ball

louman · 08-01-2007, 01:02 PM

I constantly hook the ball and have noticed that when this happens I have a severe divot behind the ball but coming into the ball from the extreme inside. It seem like I am dipping my right side before impact.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

#1 stand one or two inches closer to the ball at address
#2 hold on twice as tight with your left hand as you do your right
#3 let me know asap if this helped.

I've tried standing closer and holding on harder with the left but it didn't help. Still coming severely inside with an inside divot behind the ball.

Hits some ball from a DOWNHILL lie, not a BELOW YOUR FEET LIE...big difference...I am sure you do not like hitting balls from a downhill lie. If you can not find a downhill lie to hit from, make 50 swings from a downhill lie. Get back to me on the results.
