I have said it several times in this thread thats why you need to take leasons and have a pro watch your swing so they can show and tell you what your doing wrong. After several leasons you will start to learn why you have a hook. Most of the time its because you bring the club to the inside on the back swing and then out and in on the down swing. If you practice and learn a bad swing then its much tougher to correct the problem latter on. When I got back into golf I could still hit the ball good but was very inconsistant but I chalked that up to practice. I did get better but still was in the high 80's to low 90's. I finally took some leasons and he changed several things in my stance and swing. Things at first got worse then I started getting the feel for the changes. I finally got back to high 80's and now I'm in the low 80's after about every round. What he changed made my swing more consistant and I hardly ever duff a shot. Yes I hit some to the right or left but hardly duff. I still take 5 leasons a year just to get him watching my swing. He will also once a year for one of my leasons go out and play 18 holes to see how I hit the ball when out on the course. Not sure how many pros will do that but that has really helped me alot.
