On occasion, my miss is usually this hook off the tee. I'm trying to give it such a good whack that I stay behind it too much, instead of reminding myself to slow it down and actually get through the ball. This may happen once a round here and there, sometimes not. Great advice my friend.
Seen probably 100 of driving video, but i’ve found the best fundamental tip in this video. The driver has to return to the hands, not hit the ball past the hands because then you need to have a wide open clubface, or otherwise snaphook. Grrreat insight.
Fair play Trottie! Couldn’t believe it when I saw a hook video and then you said it was from my comment. I’m the early extender wrist flipper so once we can back on a range/course in Ireland I’ll be putting this is practice. Thanks a million
Very useful Chris - tried it down the range and dialling the loft down with the ball forwards was incredible ‼️ Fairways hit up from 60 to 80 percent and wanted to say thank you.
Interesting, I believe I’m falling back due to my tendency to attempt hitting the ball up in the air but what I may really be causing is the fairly regular duck hook.
I shall give it a try, but after 30 years with an accelerating hook I have almost quit hopping 😢 Hcp 8, 54 years, hardhitter with a quite fast swing. But I Don’t want to slow down 😊
Sweet instruction my question is being a previous low handicap and having a draw biased swing and now am hitting the high wiper block and the low skid hook I’ve moved to a slightly shorter driver shaft with my sim 2 max and am crestfallen. I know practice is the answer but could you elaborate sometime in a video call it post Covid return lol
Great video I did everything you talked about to help with my left miss. Got a 10.5 played at 9 put the weight toe side and it’s been a fairway machine #tourtrucktuesday @kcleonardgolf
Been suffering a hook with the driver for years i have a neutral grip going to give this a try but just a basic driver i have no slides or anything on it
Would you use the same drill for someone that continues to draw the ball? My miss is over-drawing/hooking, but don’t want to switch to a fade as my home course sets up for a draw in the majority of holes. Thx
Good explanation. Pretty much exactly what i feel like im doing. Always been a draw player but over time its gone left and then way left of left. Is there a good drill to get weight slid foward more? What causes the feeling of weight getting locked behind the ball on the right side?
I’m doing this at the minute. But it’s to counter act me coming over the top and pull hooking it, so I’m struggling with both. When I got fitted for my SIM’s the fitter set my driver and 3 wood 2 degrees upright and the weight in neutral still the try and level the head up at impact, does this sound correct Trottie? Keep up the good work, love the content 👍
Because research showed us PLYR’s weren’t utilizing it & the engineers wanted to save the weight and have more control over dispersion with other tech like the aluminum ring
@@trottiegolf Chris, if you have time on your next trip out here to Hawaii lmk. We would love to share the Aloha spirit with you brother, we can definitely set up something really cool!! 🤙🏾😎
@@trottiegolf thank you sir. Love the content and the passion. Keep spreading the good word!! My son is 7 and loves playing. Installing a putting green so we can practice more!!!
Intermediate target. Pick a piece of grass or mark on the floor that's inline with the target but only 4 yards in front of you, just hit over that. Good luck PLYR
Toe contact with driver Trottie! I've heard Rory and Jason Day say their miss is on the toe aswell. Toe hooks are a disaster and it feels terrible! Any tips?
Does DJ play his setting(s) upright at all? Irons as well? What pros do play their club upright and who is the most extremely upright you know of? Thanks
When you're a real hooker like me, then exiting left does absolutely nothing because my clubface is always closed. In fact, exiting left only makes the ball start left before hooking even further left. I can't stop the clubface from closing down, I've been doing it for years, and I don't know how to stop it.
I used to slice and now I hook everything so bad it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even get the ball off the ground half the time I deloft the shit out of every club

I also think that all the driver emphasis of striking 'up' on the ball is part of the mental cause of staying behind the ball too much.
Great advice Trottie! I have watched many, many golf instruction videos, and yours are as good or better than any I have watched. Please keep it up!

Some good advice here. I'm in hook land at the minute. Will watch again and take to my usual range session on Thursday. Thanks
Great video - tips in here totally worked for me! Well done :)

LOVE TO HEAR THAT 🧅
Would love a video about fixing an iron swing that’s gone too shallow... aka working some downward angle of attack back in
Gonna give it a try! I need all the help I can get to stop the snap hooks. Joey
Keep me posted, I can always run a follow up if it’s not working out
Just the video I needed to see , off to the range 😎
More awesome content.Thanks for posting.
Nice instructions, will give it a go. My one is when it’s OB down the right and over cook it snap it left ,,, 👍👍
That’s mental process…. I covered that in a recent upload
Thank you addresses all my problems!!!
Finally someone addressing us happy, sorry, unhappy hookers. Spine angle has been killing me

I just discovered your channel! Nice job I really like your enthusiasm and your video are very helpful and interesting.

Hi, Chris! Great video. How would this translate to an iron with a descending blow? Thanks!
awesome video I'm excited to try this

Former slicer, turned into an absolute straight bomber for a few months, now I can’t stop hooking 😅
Great job 😊

This is me too, getting to the point of considering quitting the game but will put these tips to work and see how it goes! ⛳🏌️🤞🏼
Brilliant 👏

I'd have to see it but I'd refine your start lines and club face, to me it sounds like you're close
I didn’t know Hookers played golf. Nice to know lol
Good stuff!
Good explanation. Pretty much exactly what i feel like im doing. Always been a draw player but over time its gone left and then way left of left. Is there a good drill to get weight slid foward more? What causes the feeling of weight getting locked behind the ball on the right side?
Being steep causes that. Pause at the top & start downswing with lower body, that's your start point.
@trottiegolf dually noted! I'll give that a try. My tendency is a super high ball flight and my hook goes really left and long.
"off the kingdome" LOL

Lie angle can impact start lines & shot shape, sounds like you’re on the right path 🤜🏻
Great video Trottie! Quick question. Why did TM take out draw/fade slider on the SIM2?

Trottie I have the M5. My tendency is to slice as I come over top. Which way should I have my weight settings???
loft sleeve a better play than the weights. Go higher or the up side

@@jeffreydauterman love that, keep him swinging ⛳️
Can't wait to adjust the weight position in the SIM2 😅🤞🏼
Won’t be adjustable left to right weight my man, front to back only and loft sleeve.
You got any tips to align on the course , got into a habbit of aiming too right ,

I’ll ask em next time I see em & how they particularly guard against that 👍🏻
@@trottiegolf how good would that be 🙏
Quiet the hips quiet the hands, keep a good tempo and you’ll smash your drives in play 250+ that’s all you need.
What are those shoes called?
Nike's
Same thoughts with irons mate?
All about attack angle and exit left with the irons.... you can leave the left side out altogether if you get those two components nailed 👍🏻
Does DJ play his setting(s) upright at all? Irons as well? What pros do play their club upright and who is the most extremely upright you know of? Thanks
He’s not overly up, guys tend to go the other way as they return the clubs so efficiently..... not many tour guys to seriously up
We can't see the flight without a traji Trottie 😅
I hear ya ..... budget constraints you gotta trust me fella 🤣
@@trottiegolf Spent too much on those Nike shoes ;)
Are you the guy who fit Aaron Rodgers?
That’d be me. Nice fella him.
@@trottiegolf I thought so that’s cool

Those shoes are filth...
I used to slice and now I hook everything so bad it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even get the ball off the ground half the time I deloft the shit out of every club
Ditto
this guy can't get his hook off the ground cuz he is soooo short. his answer? open the face and add loft 😅
