1. The hook starts right of the target and curves to the left of the target.
It is caused by:
2. Body alignment too far right of the target
3. Swingpath in-to-out
4. Grip too strong (hands turned too far right)
5. Clubface closed at impact

To cure the hook:

1. Alignment needs to be parallel to the target line. To help you visualise, think of standing on a railway line
2. Swing down the target line - not in-to-out
3. Use a neutral grip
4. Clubface square at impact
