Finally, someone who can explain the issue without a bunch of craziness and repeating themselves over and over to make a ten minute video into a twenty minute video. THANK YOU
If you are pulling shots it’s because you are delivering your power at the ball instead of at the target. Focus on swinging to the target not at the ball.
Thank You, I mainly pull a shot on par 3’s and approach shots. I think i need to hit this ball 80% or i need to hit it 100% etc and end up thinking i need to deliver the power to the ball.
Hardest thing for me to do. Have any suggestions for this? I’ve heard intermediate target but then I tend to swing down on the ball if I do that because I’m focused on that then.
There's a reason Hank Haney is considered one of the best teacher's in golf, and this is a perfect example of why that is. I'm a "type 2 puller" (closed face) of the ball, and this has done wonders for me.
Exact lesson I was searching for. Someone recently advised me, one can never have enough strong grip, and since then I've been pulling my iron shots. I realize after this video, my problem was due club face being too closed due to overly strong grip. Thank you.
Great video, I took a lot of these tips and it helped. Recorded my swing and it helps when you see it. However my miss is still to the left. Most times draw center but the miss is a duck hook. I put some lead tape on the toe of the club and now the misses aren't as bad. Really worked.
This was a fantastic lesson. I tried the suggestion moving the ball inside my stance a little while also simultaneously squaring my lead foot and opening up my right foot. IT WORKED! Certainly more practice is needed, but this adjustment was a revelation!
Simple & incredible at the same time. I love the fact that he spends a lot of time on the problem instead of just jumping to the solution. It really helps to drill in the “Problem” clearly so we can conscientiously try and avoid it!! Nicely done…
Makes sense. I've been having problems with pulling the ball to the left, and since I tend to fade the driver and slice on occasion I'm pretty sure now that it's a path problem. I'll now have something to work with on my next trip to the range. Thanks, Hank!
Thank you. I've been moving the ball around. Trying many things. I'm definitely a "puller" of the ball. Damn they feel good, fly great, but left of everything good.
Brilliantly explained. I couldn't work out why my driver fades to the right but my iron shots pull to the left. Will definitely be working on not coming over the top now
Good stuff. The 2 corrections are spot on what I would use to properly hit a draw (first one) and cut (2nd one). I've been hitting all very tight cut shots and mid to short irons have been great. With my new driver I'm getting the pull with a hook tail and sometimes creeping into tee shots with fairway woods. After a lesson I had been hitting some monster push draws on the monitor but trying to replicate in real situation has resulted in the big pulls off the golf course.
There's a lot to think about here, but after going through it a couple of times, I realized my issue with the pull was related closing the face too much. I have a tendency to be too hands-y and that's caused my body not to keep up. I swing from the inside. Great lesson.
❤❤❤❤ Thank you, Thank you Thank you!!! When I saw your video, I immediately ran to the driving range and implemented it. Straight as an arrow!!!! Yes!!! Greens in regulation here I come!
This is a great video. I assumed I was swinging over the top, but couldn’t understand why. Turns out I was shutting the face! I put the ball further back in my stance as Hank suggested and goodbye pull! Thank you.
Wow this is totally amazing !! I’ve been definitely looking at this all the wrong way and I will definitely take these points on board. I defo have a shallow swing path to the ball and I’m now sure my face is closed at impact....do you have some drills I can use please to correct this ? Many thanks either way ☺️
That is great advice moving that left front foot Moore Street I have a tendency to put my foot slightly open which allows my hips to open great point thank you
Great lesson. I have both of these problems depending on my fatigue and flexibility (I'm not as young as I used to be). Generally, on the front 9 when I'm fresh, I'm swinging from the inside with a closed club face, and on the back 9 I'm swinging outside-in. I'm aware of this and try to adjust my swing as needed. This is one aspect of golf that is much like life: making adjustments along to way to better play the game.
@@douglasmcintyre3297 I don’t think he’s using two swings on purpose. I have a similar problem after herniating my L4 and L5 years ago. My back starts to get really tense throughout the round and by the end, I’m just hoping to be able to finish. In the beginning, I’m very aware of my grip, stance, takeaway, etc., but by the 13th or 14th hole, I start forgetting parts of my routine as my nagging back starts getting more of my attention and I revert back to bad habits or what many would consider a more “natural” swing.
Too bad Hank got the shaft and was removed from the Golf Channel, Sirius Radio for telling the truth about the LPGA. None of the phonies on the Golf Channel stuck up for him. They were too busy hiding and covering their own @@@@@.
The best explanation on youtube. Nowadays, you can cheat and use trackman and it will tell you exactly what your 1)path and 2) clubface are doing at impact. Great video.
I shot an 85 today my best round using the club face tip with the left foot turned out. My iron shots were way straighter going from a pull draw to straight what a game changer
I can't remember any golf video that has provided as much useful information as this one. Absolutely fantastic. I pull the ball left and I think it is because of the club path issue. I'm not 100% sure but at least now I know what to think about and look for.
Another reason you may be starting the ball left is because your ball positioning is too far forward, which can cause your club face to be closed at impact. This was happening to me so I moved the ball 1-3 inches back in my stance and now I’m starting the ball on the right line because the club face is square at impact.
Thank you so much -- I had the dreaded "can I give you some pointers" golfer come over to me at the range and try to correct my entire swing because I was pulling shots. It was embarrassing and very frustrating. I did everything he was telling me to no avail and it took me a bit to shake off what he had taught me. This video was incredibly eye opening as I realize now that its totally a club face issue! Once again - thank you
Haha those guys🤦♂️🤦♂️ theyre usually cool and I don't mind em if they give me a pointer or 2 and leave me alone....but it gets weird when they keep watching you throughout the whole session and really try to coach you🤣🤣
I found the truth of this at the range this week. I assumed I was coming over the top but when I put a head cover in line with an over the top path I never hit it. Then on closer examination I face was closed at impact.
I feel like I just found my new “closed face duck hook” community page. We all feel each other’s pain 😣 I am using a beginners set of offset upright irons. I go for an iron fitting tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞 🏌️♂️ My driver bombs straight but boy do I hate seeing my irons all hook left.
