Just found this solution - it totally worked on the course - thank you

[jasontamlyn]

7 year on and helped me massively. Great video thankyou.

This video and one bucket of balls at the range completely fixed my swing that I’ve been struggling with for the last 6 weeks. Couldn’t be more grateful🥹

Crushing it with this tip... was hooking everything... now straight.. using the same concept for my half shots...

[TimThurlow]

Great video. The drill actually made me hit fades but after a while I was hitting it straight. It’s similar to a tip that Bryson gave which was to keep the left hand low through impact but this describes it clearer and explains where the club head should be.

My hook got out of control. Watched this vid last nite. Realized I was over-rotating my arms. Tried it at the range today. Worked like a charm for irons, wedges, fwy woods, and driver. Ball straightened out, even had a slight fade which is controllable, although a slight distance loss, which I will happily take in return for keeping it in the fairways. Thank you for a great drill and feel.

Great advice. I have been struggling with this mainly with my 5, 6 and 7 irons. I’m good with my shorter irons.

“Get the grip against the wall” such a helpful phrase to remember on the course. Your teaching style is great, thanks for sharing these tips! 🏌🏾‍♂️

I'd recently strengthened my left hand & started hitting a pretty severe pull-hook with my long irons. I'm fortunate enough to have a sim & the "face up" suggestion was spot on. Honestly it's rare to find a quick fix for a swing issue on YouTube but this one was EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks man, very much appreciated. Btw, I'm a loyal viewer & the content is excellent.

Had first some range time to get hold of this fix and applied it yesterday on the course: did not have a single one of my usual monster hooks. I haven't used my irons because of the hook, but now even sank a birdie after a long 4i approach. Just a superb, simple fix that worked for me better than I could have dreamed. Highly recommended if you are hooking your irons. Many thanks Chris!

I've been hooking my shots for years. I watched this video, and the next time I went out I had the lowest score of my life. Thank you SO much. This concept helped me immensely.

Thankyou Chris, I have been hooking my irons without knowing why for a few weeks, and this drill cured it instantly by having that feeling of keeping my hands ahead of the clubface.

[larryluv]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this concept !
I struggled with the ball going left and this helps me swing aggressively at the target .
Works with the driver too !
Thanks !!

[jkew]

Took this drill to the range last night. Game changer. Nice one 👏👏

[austinhandler]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been hooking my irons to the left of where I’m aiming every time, and couldn’t figure out why...So I searched YouTube and found this video, and you were right, I was hitting with my club face too closed....I opened my club face up to what you recommended, and hit 100 balls this morning, and 90 of them when relatively straight (little bit plus/minus, of course!) towards my target. I also focused on my swing path and where the club was finishing, and when I played today, I took 7 strokes off my course average, and that was mostly down to your tips here. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[andygreen]

OK, watched the video this afternoon, played this evening. Amazing. Not one hooked iron and my highest ever percentage of GIR!!! Hats off to Chris!

[julienbonifacio]

That drill/feel works so well. Thank you.

[ShahidKhan-pqcr]

Thank you so much Chris for simple hook drill

[이글-kb]

with my iron i was hooking every shot long or short. i understand why now. thank you chris. i will practice your drill.

[xavierreuben]

This helped tremendously, looked back at previous videos of my swing and was doing exactly what I should do to hook the ball. Otw to hitting straighter balls
