How to hook a golf ball like Jack Nicklaus | Legend Tom Watson how to hook the ball. there are a couple different ways you can do this. when I first started the game of golf my dad taught me this he said Son take aim to the right of the target pull the right foot back and when you go through the impact area just rotate your hands a little bit faster like this and that made it hook. now I saw Jack Nicholas do a clinic one time and Jack said this and I thought this is a very good way of teaching how how to hook the ball he said take the club up and just Hood the club this way but take your grip off the club first before you do that then regrip the club like this now you've hooded the golf club that you've made the club look to the left but now you have to aim to the right of the target to make up for starting the ball too far left. so instead of aiming straight at the Target you aim somewhere to the right of the target like this. and you swing it with a hooded Club face like this and this is what happens that ball hooks. the third Way is pretty simple what you do you change your grip instead of having a standard grip where you have the two Knuckles showing your left turn the left hand over so you see more of the back of the left hand when you put your right hand on make sure that's more over to the right when you swing the golf club you make sure that you're aiming to the right of the Target because when you come into the ball you're going to get into into this position to shut position going through aim to the right of the Target and the ball hooks fail safe. that's the way to hook the ball. now in some cases you have to hit What's called the extreme hook and this is a lot of fun it's pretty simple. what you do you combine all three methods you first of all you take the club head and you turn it over you turn it over Closed in this position right here. then you take your grip instead of a normal grip turn the left hand over so you see three Knuckles here the right hand underneath like that. now you've got the club in a position where if you swing, it's definitely going to go left. you aim to the right over here like this and when you go through the impact area just rotate your hands a little bit faster that's how you get around trees 🌳
