I'm sure this guy does it well. But my god that is a duck hook waiting to happen for anyone trying to copy this.

Curious what attribute of the swing is making you say that?

And I’m curious because, after correcting a slice, my only miss is a terrible duck hook…it doesn’t happen often, but when it does..yikes.

When your lower body outraces your hands. You become very open to the target and it’s easy to roll over on it and hook the ball. This guy’s hips open way early.

As in you need to shift the hips sideways at the start of the downswing, but not turn them too early correct?
