We can help correct your wayward ball flight or swing fault with a "Golf Swing Quick Fix"
Having the ability to manoeuvre your golf ball into play by deliberately changing it’s natural flight can be quite an advanta ge to have over your competitors. However I am sure it becomes very frustrating when you play yourself out of position by playing shots that have an un-wanted or un-controllable 'Ball Flight' that you did not intend to be play!
Understanding different 'Ball Flights' and their common swing causes is a vital part of understanding, controlling and improving your own 'Golf Swing'. Within this 'Fault Finder Heading' I am going to give a description of your problem 'Ball Flight' together with a list of common swing faults that maybe causing your un-wanted shot.
A Hooked Ball Flight flies un-controllably right to left in flight and is created by the Clubhead rotating into a Closed Position when impacting the ball. This motion is caused by an over-active Hand Action with the Hand & Arm Swing moving from an Inside to Outside Swing Path. Your Clubhead impacts the right side of the ball thus causing right to left side spin to be imparted that will cause the ball to fly uncontrollably right to left, thus creating a Hook Ball Flight. This type of flight also tends to fly lower than a normal flighted shot.

You can also access my detailed list of 'Common Swing Causes' of this 'Ball Flight' by following the link at the bottom of this page.
The term 'Outside to Inside' or 'Inside to Outside' refers to the path and direction your Hand & Arm Swing and your Clubhead is traveling on in relation to your 'Target Line' when impacting the Golf Ball.
Your golf ball will fly on a straight line to your Target if your Address & Posture is squarely positioned to your 'Target Line' to suit the type of shot you intend to play. This positioning creates a foundation of 'Angles and Lines' for your 'Core Body Movements' to rotate around then as your 'Core Body Movements' rotate they will create space around your body for your 'Hand & Arm Swing' (Golf Swing) to move freely into, thus creating a natural 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path'.
It is also vital that your Club's angle of attack is neither too steep nor too shallow in your 'Swing Plane' and 'Swing Path' when moving through your Hitting Area, which your 'Posture Positioning' will help to control!
