HOOK   Ball starts straight then curves to the left, for a right-handed golfer.   CHECK GRIP TOO STRONG, MANIPULATION OF THE CLUBFACE, BODY ROTATED TOO FAR IN FRONT OF HANDS AND CLUB, RHYTHM, BALANCE   GRIP TOO STRONG refers to the hands being rotated too far to the right; this will have the influence of closing the clubface through impact causing the ball to curve left.     MANIPULATION OF THE CLUB FACE. The hands can ruin the best of swings if allowed to work independently.     BODY ROTATED TOO FAR AHEAD OF ARMS AND HANDS on the downswing causes club head too get trapped too far inside the hands. Quiet your body action by working to perfect balance. Feel the linkage of the arms and body working together to balance.     RHYTHM is the swings lubricant, allowing the time for the sequence of your swings mechanics to take place, let the swing flow smoothly at an even pace back and through.   BALANCE is the key to consistency of your swing. Perfect balance is achieved all the way from balanced set up through to a perfectly balanced finish.
