From a slight slice to a hook

Well my game is starting to take shape. Now shooting low 90 shot a 87 today.
Although my drives were week. mostly straight then a slice. I finally understand about turning the wrist over now. So I am doing it and often get a nice hook. I guess I am in the process of trying to find middle ground.

A slice is bad. A fade is tolerable.

A hook is bad. A draw is magic.

For me, i try to hit the driver with one or the other. If I find myself lazy, I hit a fade. If I'm on my game, I hit the draw. You're never gonna hit one straight. :D

When I find myself get wristy and hit hooks, I try to imagine my right hand pushing against the shaft towards the target. This still promotes a right to left swing with the wrist, but they don't break as early and cause the pull problems.

For what it's worth...
