 Hooked On Fun
Sometimes, a wayward tee shot ends up being a lot of fun. I love tapping into my creativity where I have to hook or slice the ball around stuff (just not too often though). To play intentionally curved shots, keep in mind these simple tips: First, picture the exact shot you want to hit. A good mental picture gears up your muscles for what’s coming. Then, in the case of a hook, create a more rounded, sweeping swing. Roll your right hand over your left through impact to create the hook spin you’re looking for. Notice how, at right, the back of my left hand is turned toward the ground? That’s a good position to emulate.
