How to Hit a Hook in Golf a Carefully Explained Method
A golf guidance piece explains hooking the ball by adjusting stance. The two feet form a triangle with the ball, but for a hook the left foot moves toward the line of flight while the ball sits opposite the right heel. The right foot moves back to allow an inside-to-outside club path and a turn over at impact with proper grip placement.
