Hitting balls with your feet together removes your ability to over-rotate or flip your hands through impact, exposing the handsy release that causes hooks.
advanced10-15 balls, twice a week
How to perform it
1.Set up with your feet touching or nearly touching.
2.Make three-quarter swings, focusing on staying balanced from start to finish.
3.Notice that an over-active hand release throws your balance off in this stance — smooth it out into a more rotational release.
4.Progress to full swings once your half-swings feel stable and balanced.
What you should learn
•The difference between a body-driven release and a hands-driven flip through the ball.
•How much your balance depends on sequencing the release correctly.
After a few weeks of practice
Your balance holds up through impact, the release feels more centred and body-driven, and pull-hooks become noticeably rarer.
