Benjisan, fighting hook no good, must focus, be late on strike not early. Aye!

I have found with my clients even my college players they will fight an issue an entire round instead of doing something different that will get them into the clubhouse. At this point it has to be a mental block because a simple grip adjustment or more focus on impact conditions would get the player back to the 19th hole. I’m going to look and see if there is any clinical research out on why golfers hesitate to do something different when things are going bad. I I have had multiple conversations with Steven Yellin and Michael Hebron on this topic in the past with some interesting feedback.

To sum it up really fast the player has to first accept there is nothing to fix and turn off the super computer and tap into the prefrontal cortex the part of the brain that controls balance and motion. But it has to be trained just like training to improve your bunker play or other parts of your game.

The module three videos, really helped give me a couple tools. As well as identifying why its happening.

Earning our tools of play is one of the game’s great rewards, like any other game. Probably my favorite workaround from several if encountering a hook-cough is, as a righty, aim directly at left side trouble and the brain knows, and loves, cutting away from it. Compliments of Bobby Jones Jr.

Season opener today, ball striking had many winter cobwebs to clear away, took out a Power Built persimmon for a little spring cleaning up. :smiley:

Agreed. I was chasing it aiming more and more to the right.
