Pull Hook

A ball flight pattern where the shot starts left of the target and curves even further left for right-handed golfers, representing a double-miss that can cause significant accuracy problems. Pull hooks typically result from an outside-in swing path combined with a closed club face at impact. This pattern often produces shots that start left and curve dramatically, leading to trouble areas and penalty strokes. Correcting pull hooks requires swing path adjustments, grip modifications, and improved setup positions. Understanding ball flight laws helps golfers and instructors diagnose and correct pull hook patterns effectively.
