Golf swing?
Big Bob asked:
I just started golfing. I have good form and when I drive the ball it gets the distance, but it always hooks to the right. are there any little adjustments in a golf swing that can help hit it straight?

could be your grip……if you are right handed, try turning your left hand so the back of your hand is facing up

hey i’ve been playing 9 years and im 12 and i’ve always love the game of golf. And you have the slice. I would say your left arm should be straight and is your power, your right arm is your aim and your elbow should be close to your body, the only time your right elbow is not close to your body is at the top of the backswing. Vijay Signh gets a towel and puts it under his right armpit so if he swings and the towel doesn’t drop thats a good swing. If that didn’t help try to widen you legs more, flex your knees a little, and stick your butt out more this will give you more control. When you come down on your back swing your club should be sweeping the ground like your dusting your house . Make sure the face of the club is completely straight when you get impact with the golf ball and it will go straight. Swing 80% of your power go over that and ball will be going everywhere. Good Luck! Happy Golfing

ive been playin for years and i have the same exact problem, however instead of trying to fix it I use it to my advantage. Play the hook the right way and it could work just as well.
Aim the ball slightly more to the left when you hit, at first it will feel unnatural but once you see how your ball moves it will make sense. Plus on doglegs right you will have a natural curve that will really help.
I play my hook well but when I want to hit straight I drive with a 4 iron instead of a driver. You get less distance but you get the desired accuracy. I play every week and my average is around 79. You cant argue with results

It could be the way you hold the club at address. Turn the club in your hand or try to come through with your hands a little earlier than you do already. Another thing to try would be rotating your body more in the follow through or rotating your hands through even

no, dont move ur left hand if u are right handed, move ur right hand, basically twist ur right hand so ur palm is facing up when u grip the club, it works every time!!!! during ur backswing sweep the club along the grond as far back as u can, then come back on the same plain and u will get more height on ur ball, thereffore, more distance!!!! and straight!!!
