I have developed a nasty problem in my golf swing. I am right handed, and I roll my right wrist as I swing, which causes the ball to hook, and give up distance. Are there any tips or drills I can do to stop this?
women do suffer from this problem the reason is their superior flex ability in the upper body. especially in the wrists and forearms. you are not rolling your wrist. you are turning your forearm . at home take club with rubber swing Weight just let it go back and through in a pendulum motion. since it is winter you can do this watching t v . or even with a five pound dumb ell. you wont be able to swing Weight short distance if you roll your forearm. just a matter of decreasing woman’s superior flex ability. or try throwing underhand motion with 5 pound dumb ell. easy cure. good luck.

You need:
a watch or rubber band
pencils
First, take the watch or rubber band and put it on your left wrist. Put it all the way up, then tighten it as much as you can. Then put the pencils in between your forearm and the watch. Make it so that if you do roll your wrists, it hurts. Keep trying to swing without it hurting.
This will hopefully improve your golf swing.

Very simple !! On the down swing, swing through and past the ball, not at the ball. This will straighten out the hook in a hurry. The golf swing demands that the wrist rolls over. How else are you going to get to the finished position ?

Whoa! You’re SUPPOSED to roll your right wrist….but!!….don’t do it until AFTER you’ve made contact with the ball. Sure, if you roll your right hand over too quickly, you’ll be hitting with a closed club face, which would account for your hook, but probably you’re pulling the ball too, as much as hooking it. Anyway, what I would suggest (stealing a tip from Ben Hogan’s book) is practise a hip swing back and forth with your elbows tucked into your hips……forget the backswing and follow-thru…this is only for your hands…..NOW, keeping your wrists cocked until just BEFORE making contact with the ball, think about SUPINATING your LEFT wrist bone…."supinating"…raising the left wrist bone as you come into contact with the ball and point it at the target….this will keep the right wrist from rolling over until AFTER you’ve made contact with the ball……from that point, just let the hands lead you naturally into your follow-thru……good luck!

P.S. Big Brother at Yahoo Answers has deleted the word "cocked" from my answer…..this question cannot be answered without using that "dirty word"
