Hook is disappearing!!!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

It was a nice day today, +3ºC so I decided to go out and hit some balls to see if I'm making any progress with my swing.

The first time I went out I took the camera to shoot some video. Only took the driver and hit 10 balls. obviously rusty as ol' hell but I was able to get some good contact on a few. The thing is I hit most of them with this big high push + cut thing that went no were.

Went in the house and put the vids on the comp and took a look at them. Noticed a few things and headed back out. This time I took the 6 iron with all that masking tape on the grip (). Hit a few drivers with the same results as earlier. Switched to the 6 iron for 3 shots and after 3 complete blades my fingers were hurtin. Went inside and took that damn tape off. Most of it anyway, some of it was a little stubborn and took a butter knife and warm water to come off. There’s still a bunch of glue on the grip but that's beside the point.


Went back out oneeee more time with the driver and 6 iron. Driver was still the same old ugly high push slice thing with just a few nice drives that I want to see in April. Then I hit one and it sounded like it might have made contact with a house that is being built behind mine. So I decided to put the driver away and I broke a tee in half so It was small enough to stick into the frozen ground.

I then proceeded to hit the best iron shots I have hit in probably a year. I aimed at this big spruce tree and I hit 4 balls in a row directly over that tree with a nice high dead straight ball flight. Damn, that felt good.

I didn’t hook one of them which I found amazing. I hit at least 20 6 irons and I was extremely pleased with the results. I felt like I was really getting my weight to my back leg on the back swing and I was really able to fire through the shot on the downswing.

Weather permitting I will hit some more balls tomorrow and try to get that driver straightened out.

But god dam those 6 irons were beautiful.:laugh: I’ve been waiting to see that for a long time.

This is a much longer post than I originally planned.

The hook begins with the takeaway, pay close attention that you are not starting the club back to far inside.

were in the hell were you for the last 8-9 months!?:real angry:

This is exactly what I changed, and am hitting the ball much better.:laugh:

It's still a little inside but i'm not finished with the transformation.

Only about..55 more days until I can expect to be on the course.

We have about a foot of snow on the ground here..I guess I shouldn't complain about it considering you have 50. I WANT SUMMER TO COME! LOL. Glad to hear you are hitting your 6 iron so great, hopefully it will carry into the spring.
