Re: Pulls-pull hooks with driver and 3-wood..

I can be doing just fine and then there it is......
I try to set up a little closed (I tend to draw the ball) with my feet shoulder width apart..I try to make sure my head is behind the ball, and I try to make sure my weight shifts to the inside of my right foot on the way back. Low and slow back, with a full shoulder turn...Then back down, and this is where I must be messing up (although probably not the only place).
What is frustrating is that one hole I can lace a great drive, and the next hole I pull hook it into the next fairway...
Anyway, thanks for the tips!!!!! Any more ideas would be appreciated..And I will keep plugging away....
I hit pull or pull hook usually when I try to hit a big drive. What happens is I do OTT because I force the fast one before my hip can release. Either you have to slow down a bit or try to maintain somewhat released hips ( more weight on left foot and actually slight open stance could help ) helps in my case.

Also try John Daly type swing ( overly long backswing ) if that helps, you are definitely coming down too fast..
