Hooked shots look bad and feel even worse. But we don’t need to tip-toe around this issue. By combining your strike pattern data with an understanding of the “gear effect”, we can remove the hook.

When you strike the toe side of the club face, the club head’s center of mass doesn’t align with the force of the golf ball.
This causes the club head to twist open, around its center of mass, creating a counter-twist in the golf ball (“gear effect”). The opposing twists impart side spin onto the ball. Toe-side strikes with a neutral swing path produce a hook.

It’s worth noting that if you strike the ball too far on the toe, near the edge of the club face, you’ll override the horizontal gear effect and push the shot.
Once we know your strike pattern and swing path, we can get you into gear with the correct shaft, loft and face angle.
