Although you won’t want to miss the step-by-step process below, including drills, and the slight differences when hitting irons and drivers.

A golf duck hook shot sees the ball fly low off the clubface before viciously curving to the left for right-handers. Naturally, the ball flies to the right side of the hole if you are left-handed. The reduced energy transfer and sidespin, coupled with ball speed drop-off, see your ball travel further sideways than forwards. This results in losing distance, accuracy, and consistency on full shots. Read on because if you don’t understand what causes a duck hook and how to stop it, you may never reach your potential. After reading this guide, you will possess the diagnosis and cure

The Juju golf swing is a new theory on how to swing the club. The main focus is on the takeaway, making it easier to narrow the club on the downswing and create more lag.
