Follow the golf swing instructions below, for easy ways to stop hooking as well as eliminating a reverse pivot.
Grip pressure plays an important role in how the ball will fly.
1. To eliminate a hook, hold on tighter with the last three fingers (grip softer with your thumb and index finger) of your left hand, before starting your swing.
2. Maintain the firmness in these three fingers through impact.
If you actually want to hit a draw, simply lighten the grip pressure in your left hand - this will allow your right hand to dominate in order to hit a draw.
The reverse pivot occurs when a golfer's weight shifts in the opposite direction to that which it should during the swing. This incorrect movement results in a dramatic loss of power in the swing.The picture above, shows the incorrect backswing movement as part of a reverse pivot - the weight, incorrectly transfers onto the left foot.
The picture above, shows the incorrect follow-through movement as part of a reverse pivot - the weight, incorrectly falls back onto the right foot.
1. Place a club behind your neck, with each hand gripping an end of the club.
2. Make a backswing, by focussing on transferring your weight well onto your right side. It is ok to make a slight lateral movement to the right - this is better than a reverse pivot.
3. Progress to your follow-through, by focussing on transferring your weight well onto your left side. Once again, it is ok to make a slight lateral movement to the left, if this helps you get most of your weight onto your left side.
4. Practice this drill a number of times, until you really feel the proper weight transfer motion - this will eliminate any signs of a reverse pivot!
