How to Cure a Snap Hook
Few things are more frustrating on the golf course than an inability to correct a wayward drive. If you are repeatedly seeing your shots bend sharply to the left, then you are experiencing a snap hook--along with the slice, it's the malady of many casual golfers. The hook is caused by loosening the grip in the backswing, a problem that can be worked on with no more than a simple tee.

Tips & Warnings
If shots begin to fire off to the right now, it means your grip is too open when played with constant pressure. Close your grip slightly by bringing your dominant hand around so that it covers slightly more of your non-dominant hand.
