Can you make the same changes on you’re irons or is it only driver??
Hey Rick, what do you think would be the main cause of someone who generally hits the ball pretty straight but has an occasional snap hook a couple times per round?
Rick this lesson on how not to hook the ball is spot on. Am 59 years of age and I never hooked a ball but the last 3 to 4 years I have been plagued with a hook because of basic injury of my right elbow. I will implement your drills from this day forward. Love to get back a slight fade. Thanks rick
You watch your own video Rick 😂😂👍
Off to the Range....lets kill the hook....
Just fixed my slice using his “fix your slice” video and now I’m here.
Dude same
I feel this ❤️
same
Same… :(
Glad I’m not the only one
The irony that I was watching the fix your slice series 4 months ago and now I’m here
right bruh
Same bruh last month I sliced it about 100 yards. I know hook it like 100 yards
Literally same 🤦
Exactly the same lol
man same
I had been slicing for years and I started hooking a few missed shots when I followed Rick's tips for stopping a slice. I actually spent a good 10-20 balls at the range trying the intentionally hook and slice the ball with "extremes" and seeing how they affected the ball flight. This was magical for understanding how the setup, grip, club path and club face affect the ball flight. It's so much easier to find a "neutral" swing now that I understand what causes a slice and what causes a hook. It's all about being neutral, but if you've been hooking for years, it's probably going to feel like you're overdoing it in the beggining, and you might even slice. Then you just gotta dial it back a little and find that neutral club path and club face.
Got to try that.
Been picking up these pieces of advice from different sources but love that you put it all together in an easy to understand visual representation. Thanks, Rick!
Rick thank you so much for making this video. I have been struggling so much with a hook this summer and I have incorporated this video into my game and ever since it has stored my hook. Yesterday I played 12 holes and had 10 pars and 2 bogeys which is amazing golf for me. Thanks again rick 👍
Awesome video! Went to the driving range this morning with the goal of applying these tips to eliminate my hook and the difference in my drives was night and day! By the end of the session I was consistently hitting longer, straighter drives. Tip #4 seemed to help the most for me.
The body alignment and swing path drill really helped me last night so so much. I made several grip changes earlier in the season to fix a slice and in process made transition to a bad hook; implementing these I was able to hit the ball much straightener and make better contact also. Great content Rick - thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this! I've come back to golfing after 20+ years away, and have been hooking terribly. Took a trip to the range where I planned on trying each tip in turn to see how I could fix it; my grip needed to weaken up. Boom, drives were straighter, irons didn't carom off to the left, and it was (mostly) fixed.
This kind of instruction, plus your series on paying with inexpensive box sets (which convinced me I could buy a set of clubs for $300 that would be perfectly serviceable) have turned me back into a golfer, and allowed me to bring my daughter along for the ride, offering us excellent daddy-daughter bonding time. So thank you again.
The whole time I was thinking “If Rick’s 5th and most important tip is to ‘believe’ in myself I’m gonna lose it”
Hey Rick - this video is brilliant! 1 year into golf and this video cured my vicious hook. It’s all in the grip! I was turning my body, the club...only worked now and then. Thank you for this! I’m reprogramming my muscle memory and process of approaching the ball. 19 of 20 are now pretty straight! 👍
Hi Rick, just wanted to say thank you. I have been out of golf for almost a decade and just making a comeback, haven't made the course yet, just on the range and I have developed a filthy hook! Your video gives me hope that I may once again enjoy the game I love. Thanks for the great work that you do!
Early gang! Thanks so much for this video, I always struggle with a driver hook. Very helpful.
Playing later today and this has been my problem recently! Thanks for the tips!
Great video Rick. It's funny to me because in the last 2 weeks, my golf coach and I have been working on this very thing. Over the past year or so I developed a hook and it's killin' me. Grip and stance - 2 of most basic things and we somehow make changes to those without realizing it. Sometimes it's best to step back and work on the basics! Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you Rick for this video! I started snap hooking my drives and I can’t wait till tomorrow to practice your tips in this video to fix my hook! Keep up the good work. Much respect from California ✊🏾🏌🏽♂️⛳️
Finally an instructional video to help me from rick shiels...I’m used to seeing videos for 20hc players lol
My hook came from pushing up with my hips and legs which led to the path being massively in-out. No amount of backswing or clubface work was enough to fix it.
I started to fix it by really feeling that weight transfer to my front foot, almost like I'm trying to crush a can under my foot as I transition to my downswing. That really gets your hips and bopdy moving around and from there I was able to start tweaking my wrists and backswing to find what felt comfortable.
Thanks for this comment because that’s what I’m doing and I can’t fix it
My goodness Rick - thank you SO much. Theoretically, I know all of this - but based on the fact that 99/100 articles/videos advise and demonstrate on correcting a slice, those of us who fight the hook get brainwashed into programming a STRONG draw (or hook). This was such a helpful reminder. Totally agree that it is primarily alignment and path (and then TRUST). Last time out was SO much better. Thanks Rick!
Hi Rick. This is greatly helpful, as a beginner golfer i was low hooking a fair amount of my mid to high irons and of course the dreaded Driver, which becomes extremely frustrating. Going to implement these helpful tips and cant wait to see the results. Love all your vids, tips, useful info and of course insight on the game. Keep up the great work
Loved this video! I definitely hook and I’m going to give these steps a try today!

No one:
Rick: Hõøōòôöókįńg the golf ball
British things
Fantastic Rick! I’ve heard all of these bits before at various times but it is so great to have them all together. I’ve had some success being able to work the ball both ways in the past and you have to understand all of this stuff to make it happen. The problem is when you don’t play regularly and bad habits creep in and you forget how to correct. I have been struggling with a hook for the last couple months. This will definitely help! Thx
Rick,
OMG, did you watch me play yesterday? I swear you did, and seen all five issues I am doing!
I have written them down, maybe even take them to be tattooed on my arm. You are spot on to fix my hook.
I have worked very hard over the years to fix a forever slice and now I have gotten to the point of over compensating everything to avoid my dreaded slice. Every point you have made, are all the areas I have over corrected to avoid the slice. Now the work begins to bring back swing where it should be. Thank you!
The one thing that you did not address was insufficient body rotation, where your arms take over the swing rather than following your lower body. I have some lower back issues that can limit or at least slow my rotation, and would be interested in your observations for this problem. Keep up the good work!
Completely agree. When I hook the ball it’s because my swing is all arms and not enough body rotation.
I have the same issue and probably one of the biggest reasons for most players hooks. Early extension is very hard to stop, creates limited rotation and therefore results in a shot that almost always hooks straight left. I have to focus on moving might right hip forward and might left hip back and not allowing my hips to travel forward towards the ball.
Perfect timing as I'm playing this afternoon, I hook a few tee shots and fairway wood shots!
Play well
@@RickShielsPGA I'm playing my home town course in Stevenage for the first time in over 20 years. I'll let you know how I get on. Loving all the vids btw, kept me entertained the past 3 months.
Cheers Rick. First session at the range after watching this and already hitting it straighter. Sometimes block it right and sometimes old habits die hard. But a lot happier and have something to work on.
Rick, this one speaks to me! The grip adjustment is without a doubt step one. It feels so strange but you're absolutely right! And naturally I've been aiming more and more right to over compensate for the hook. Such a good video - thanks!
5:48 “Just a nice little draw” 😂
haha! I was thinking "thats a hook right there??"
Thank god it wasnt just me. lol. 30 yard draw, no biggie.
Hey Rick, could you review golf sunglasses. I’ve never seen a review on these. Cheers !
Thanks for posting this video! I am already trying 3 of the 5 but will look to incorporate the takeaway path and the alignment tips as well.
I come back to this video every single year. Good stuff Rick
I’ve basically just incorporated my hook into my game. Ha.
Same. 😂
It gets to a point when you aim at the trees at the tee box, you know it’s to bad.
Winston Godfrey Ha. Hilarious and true.
🤣🤣 yes!! Most people line up towards the hole! Not me! Lol and I’m left handed so I gotta take all this and try and turn it around! Haha
I tell people I have a really nice draw as I aim to the other fairway to the right.
Might need to tell Gm_Golf about this
but especially matt scharff
Can't believe how much you're videos have helped my golf game! I'm slowly making my way to single digit handicap! Thank you!
I’ve hooked to many drives costing me key strokes. I finally changed my grip and motion and starting to see improvement!
this helps, now for my shank and pull
and duff and top and thins and fat and push and..
Fredrik F and whiff
I whiffed the other day... then stepped up and hit the best shot ive ever hit off of that tee box. Sometimes you just rush the shot for whatever reason and being just a tad bit off can turn into disaster
Driver is so difficult to master
Very true
I’ve mastered mine,I leave it at home 😂
Go get it shortened by about an inch. Thank me later.
My best shot on my round yesterday was a driver, but I spent a lot of time waiting for people to come up on holes left to us as I was skuffing shots left.
Dude I can’t hit a driver to save my life
Thanks for the video Rick! I tend to hook many of my shots, not only with the driver. I can't wait to try this technique out on all my shots!
I absolutely love your videos. Just started playing for real and I’m almost allways hooking the ball. Gotta try this out tomorrow morning before work.
Knowing I have an absolute banana slice: hmm I should try hooking it
This video got me Hooked, not gonna lie.
Ok I'm leaving
Haha nice
Great instruction Rick. Thank you. Really been struggling with the hook. It was devastating on the hard ground in Sedona AZ. Going to practice this weekend.
One day ill drive the ball straight
I have been saying that for 4 years
Wait who r u
I didn’t know you played golf kaz
No…no you won’t…haha enjoy the struggle
Watching this as I want to turn my slice into a hook
He has another video czcams.com/video/oDnctpwLa8o/video.html
Stop slicing your driver
Haha same
Appreciate these videos Rick ! Shot straight drives this afternoon keeping your tips in mind ! Thank you !
Hey rick thanks for the great tips. I think it would great especially for beginners to understand how to stay consistent through 18 holes when facing fatigue. I’ve noticed the deeper into a course I go the sloppier my swing gets, what are some tips you recommend trying. I’m playing 18 holes this weekend. Thanks I’m advance.
Ok, next video: "How to fix your Hook after watching my video to fix your Slice" I would watch that on repeat...
Yes dude
Same
Exactly!! Feels terrible 😂
Hahahahahahha omfg exactly what happened.
i started to have a hook after fixing my slice. will this just be a cruel vicious cycle of slice, hook, slice, hook for the rest of my life?
Yup, need to find the sweet spot
Are you trying to swing to hard? That was my problem. I quit trying to kill it (which was harder cause I love hitting it long) and started to swing smooth and my mine straightened out.
Get 1-2” cut off your driver shaft. Way easier to make solid contact and control the face. Won’t hit it as long but it will be more consistent and that’s way more important for any amateur.
I’m one that tends to hit my driver with a nice draw, but when it comes to my iron shots that’s when I hook the ball at times. Like last Saturday when I was level par after 17, I hooked my ball into thick rough on the 18th and made double bogey!! Great tips there👍
used 4 of the 5 that you mentioned (alignment ot needed) and saw incredible results! Thanks!
“Five tips to fix a hook, stay tuned to 4 and 5.” Did Rick just clickbait us with his voice?
Can't wait to go to the range to apply all of this , and then top it anyway 😢 😁
As long as it’s om the fairway 😂
Took your tips to the course today, didn’t hit one hook! I had been lost in the wilderness with my hook and even worse, a pull hook. Real progress! Thanks so much!
Hi Rick I was hooking my shots and had a lesson and he said it was due to me straightening my back leg and having to much weight on my front. Focusing on transferring weight into the back leg and not straightening has helped me. But watching this I feel my grip may be a bit off so shall try this too. Great video as always
😂 Guaranteed huh?!? You’ve not seen my hook. It’s un-stoppable
Rick: To fix your slice, strengthen your left hand.
Also Rick: To fix your hook, weaken your left hand.
Yeah golf is easy right?
Not sure what the point of this comment is. It’s all about finding the right balance for you. Not too strong or weak.
Rick, I don't know how you do it but you know exactly what I'm struggling with first it was the slice (foud your fix your slice videos) then it was the hook and now i can aim straight down the middle of the fairway. thanks a bunch Rick
Rick! I was just looking yesterday for a video from you about hooking! Just in time! Thank you so much! Enjoy all your videos!
Great now my head covers in the middle of the driving range... JK I couldn’t hook the ball if you paid me. But I can slice it like a chef.
I'm new to golf, been playing for around 3 months. Had a horrible slice when I started, watched some videos to fix it, spent a fair amount of time at the range, tamed it to a nice fade but the whole time I've basically been trying to deliberately hit a draw. I've hit one draw in a couple of thousand balls. Just can't get that in-to-out club path.
The title should read - "How to slice the ball"
Oh trust me when i say i don`t need help with that
@@jman2_012 haha
Exactly!!
Pretty much. Never heard anyone say hit from outside to in! Always the opposite
This video is clearly not aimed towards someone with a pure swing. For someone with ingrained bad habits, overcorrection proves a better strategy than trying to unlearn flawed technique. It's easier to meet in the middle, plain and simply.
As always, another great video Rick!!!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Rick. Fixed my hooking problem that I have struggled for 20 years. The last tip was the best, and I now may be able to fade it with more control.
As a recovering slicer, watching this video is terrifying.
as a recovering hooker it gives me hope
Rick only needs 15 shots. He’s totally serious
I get it lmao.
But does he strike the ball thin or fat or pretty solid.
Love it
Luke Reeve haha i have seen that one about 1000 times now
great vid, i was shocking today hooking the ball every tee shot, the vid has made perfect sense and made me realise what u have puinted out is spot, only down side for me was today was the second card being marked for my first ever official handicap , but at least i know where i am going wong , thanks rick
100% needed this video. Thank you so much!
🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 Hooks
Imagine this: There was a type of Pterodactyl with a bigger wingspan than a fighter jet. Fun fact, it’s true!
Rick ...your a great explainer of methods and what we need to do to correct things in our swings. I offer you a challenge so that you may understand our side of things. Your able to do and play the way you do because of your mechanics ..most of us watching you dont have those same mechanics to achieve the result. To prove my point and heres my challenge ... I would love for you make a video where your the student and play golf and swing like Jim Furyk ..so in theory, you watch his video swing just like we watch your video swing and then go apply what you watched. I think you will get a understanding of our end of things.
Great pointers, Rick. I found that one thing that has stopped me from swinging to much inside-out is by raising the clubhead off the ground before i start my backswing. It really does promote a better takeaway.
I bought a few dozen at the beginning of the year and I loved how they felt. I like to see it wasn’t just in my head that these actually preform.
Thanks Rick! So many videos about slicing out there, but I have always struggled with a hook.
Dude, thank you so much for this. I played on Friday and scored 5 points in 9-holes, before walking off and wondering if I should just quit. Watched this vid quickly this morning before a knockout game and shot 39points and won 6&4. Legend. 🙌
You’re a legend rick. It’s my birthday today and mostly I’m celebrating the fact that since lockdown I’ve gone from a 16 to a 9 hc and a lot of it is thanks to your tips! Keep em coming mate
Finally, I’ve been struggling with this for months now! Thank you
I just played 9 holes in my senior league after seeing your video on stopping my hook. I crushed every drive and all were straight and in the fairway. I won my match and even my partner was amazed. Thanks Rick!😊
Just bought a used set of starter clubs the other day because of your videos. Can’t wait to go to the range today to keep practicing!
Great lesson Rick!. Found this very helpful video and the fx make it easier to see what your saying and ill be trying these out soon. Cheers.
Perfect timing! I got into a bad habit of suddenly hooking. Thanks Rick!
I stopped Playing Golf because of my Hard Hook, it completly destroyed my Game. This Video has helped me a lot. Thanks legend !
Thanks Rick for this video as these tips were exactly what I needed to help fix my hook.
I wish I could like this twice! I can't wait to get out and try a bit of these tips and see if I can get my hook to ease off.
Great video Rick. My grip was neutral, so that wasn't it, and the takeaway seemed okay as well. But it was all of that wrist action that was causing the hooks. I focused on using the arms and following through toward the target and the hook vanished for a day. Very encouraged! Thank you!
@rickshieldsgolf you are simply the most amazing teacher of golf. You are single handedly responsible for shaving 10 strokes off my game. Thank you so much!
Many thanks Rick. I currently have a terrible hook problem. I will focus on your video principles when I next go to the range in the hope that it fixes my problem 👍🏻👏🏻
So so helpful! I’ve only ever seen “fix your slice” but I’ve been out here hooking it for years
Hello Rick! Thanks for the video. I have suffered for years with a hook...and some days it gets extra nasty costing me a couple of OB's a round! All that you said is me! Strong grip, rotating wrists too strong through impact, over time have started swinging more inside/out to compensate, aiming down the right side of the hole entertaining my friends as they watch!!! I will try all your tips....however, the new grip will be tough, not sure can do (been gripping same way 40+ years)! I have a real weak left side (arm, hand, and leg)....always been very, very right dominate (killed me in soccer with no left leg power)! So the right hand wants to compensate for my wimp left hand! I might have to hope steps 3-5 get me doing! Funny listening to you describe exactly everything I do (without seeing my swing)! Thx Rick!
I'm a senior golfer with a nine handicap, I play three times a week. When I say I've been fighting the hook for more than forty years that is a plain and simple fact. I can honestly say I've never been able to eliminate that shot from my game. The hooked tee shot always raises it's ugly head when there is out of bounds / hazards etc. down the left side.
In any event this particular posting by Mr. Shiels was very interesting and certainly confirmed that ( in my particular case ) my take away with my long clubs is the biggest contributing factor.
I spent an hour at the practice range yesterday and the results were very positive. After watching a video clip of my swing there was no doubt that the club face of my driver was shut at the top of the backswing ,,,
Thanks for the advice Rick! I am a chronic hooker... of the golf ball... And because of it, I can't seem to get my HcP under 10. I'll try these at the range today!
I had my clubs regripped this winter and went from a lifelong slice (for my bad shots) to hooking the ball. I can get out of it occasionally and put together a couple of solid rounds but I'm also scared to fix it because I can control it a little better than my slice. Going to double check my grip, I was working on it yesterday and saw exactly what you said - hit a well struck drive straight right. It really does seem like I'm closing the face too much but happy to see these tips here.
all of your videos are great man. love it!
Love how simple you make it Rick! Now just to retain it all. By the time I make it to the range I'll think I'm doing this...but it'll be bake to same ol' I'm sure.
Can't wait to try these out - Melbourne Australia is locked down and no golf. I tried out a launch monitor and was getting a bunch of side spin on the driver.
Beautiful morning on the course in East Texas. Hope everyone has great golf weather today!! Great video Rick 👍
Thanks dog
Oh Rick I’ve been waiting for you to release this kind of video!!!!! 🙌🏻 been watching your videos for months and got rid of the slices and fades and developed a sexy draw for about two months but last few weeks it turn into this ugly hook. Hell even managed to hook my 52 last weekend 🥺
I (and I can’t stress this enough) NEEDED this.
I don't have a hook, but this video has just helped with my swing in general, great video Rick.
You’re the greatest Rick!! Thank you for this video
Great lesson. I´ve had deep problems with this. Almost thinking of quitting playing golf. But thanks to this i´m on the right path......i think/hope
