Snap Hook

A severe hook shot that curves dramatically from right to left (for right-handed golfers), often starting on target but quickly veering sharply left of the intended line. Snap hooks typically result from excessive wrist rotation through impact, a closed club face, or an excessively inside-out swing path. These shots are particularly troublesome because they often start on line before curving severely, making them difficult to predict and control. Correcting snap hooks usually requires swing path adjustments, grip modifications, and improved tempo to reduce excessive hand action through impact.
