Returning to hitting
 

After a week of inability to get a swinging drive to land in the fairway, I give up for now. Hitting my driver the shot goes much more where I aim it, though I am still plagued by hooks now and then. Using the D-plane concept ( is D-Plane foreign to LBG?) a hook for a right handed golfer is due to a divergence between the path of the clubhead, and the face angle at impact. The greater divergence, the greater the hook. This suggests that I should address the ball at fix with an open club face. I should also try to use an almost in line approach angle (steeper plane angle as suggested by Ted Fort. Initially, I was worried that angled hinging would turn this combination into a slice, Am I right to be worried about this? I'd rather be drawing the ball.

I understand the D Plane as its been named but wouldnt it be best to identify what is cause thing hook rather then come up with a face compensation? Do you have video?

I had the worst hook, pull hook on this board last summer. I went to an AI and a little work the hook is gone. There was just some broken pieces that needed to be fixed.

From a drive load standpoint, which produces an angled hinge, it seems like if the swing is close to on plane unless the face is dead shut at impact then a straight to slight fade is going to happen.

scotgas,as a matter of interest,where do you think tha clubface is making contact with the ball ,ie back of ball or a quadrant of ball,and is clubface square on contact,just curious cheers
