Coaching can be great! Though I feel like my swing is a lost cause sometimes! LOL.
Equipment change can be beneficial, but make sure it aligns with your swing characteristics. It’s easy to blame the club but also crucial to look at your mechanics.
That’s true! Sometimes we try to fix everything just with gear when our technique needs more focus.
Honestly, it might just be me, but addressing this issue feels like trying to fix a broken relationship. Takes time and effort! Got any advice?

To fix your snap hook, start with your grip. Make sure it isn’t too strong; a neutral grip can do wonders. Try practicing with alignment sticks to ensure you’re aiming correctly.
Great tip! I’ve found that practicing with a split grip drill helps as well. It can teach you to keep the club face square through impact.
Another effective way to combat snap hooks is to focus on your follow-through. Ensure it’s high and towards the target. Many golfers overlook this, but it’s key in maintaining proper shot shape.
I completely agree! Adding a visual cue, like a towel under your arm, can help with that follow-through!
I’ve struggled with snap hooks for years. One thing that helped me was practicing with the driver specifically. It’s often where I get into trouble. Using a lighter grip pressure sometimes makes a huge difference.

Such a good point! I always thought it was all about the arm swing, but grip pressure really matters. Has anyone tried using a weighted club for practice?
Weighted clubs can be beneficial! They help build muscle memory for your swing. Just remember to balance it out with lighter clubs too. A good practice routine can make all the difference.

Absolutely! What about incorporating some drills with a friend? It can make the practice much more fun and engaging.
Practicing with a buddy sounds fun! Keeping each other accountable could help reduce that tendency to snap hook. I also like to review some golf videos for additional tips.
I’ve watched those videos too! Some instructors emphasize the mental aspect as well; visualization can be a game changer!
Visualization is key! But it does sound a bit like golfer jargon sometimes, right? Just remember, we’ve all been there with hooks. Persistence is key!
