    Bad Hooks

    Is there a reason why I will with a Fairway wood or Driver come over the Top with my right shoulder and Pull or Push the Ball left.

    Should the right arm be tighter to my body maybe?

    See my suggestions in the thread "Best Drill for Grooving Swing Path." They will help you get the club head coming into the ball from the ideal inside and your right elbow will be closer to your right side coming down.

    Check your grip to see that it is not turned too clockwise. If you see "two knuckles" of the left hand you should be OK.

    Sounds like your ball flight is a PULL/HOOK, ie., it starts left and then curves left even more. A PUSH would start right and travel in a straight line.

    Hi BC Mist, thank you for this. Actually my Grip isn't bad but I feel my elbow is out flaring around. It goes dead left, and often as you describe starts left and then curves more! Not often but often enough to get my attention!

    try a little wagle with the club face, and have your elbow against the ribs. this should get you a better in to out swing and better follow through
