Despite that when I set up to allow for my pull hook, 80% of the time I hit it straight right....

1) If you want to hit it straight, set up perfectly square and hit DOWN through the ball. I have played with many golfers who hit a straight ball.

2) If you hitting your "pull hook" straight right, you must be coming on a flat, inside swing path but you are not closing the face. The face is square to the path at impact, producing a shot that goes straight right. If you released the club and closed the face, you would hit a hard draw/hook.

For me to draw my driver, I do feel a flat, inside path. However, I do feel that I really need to keep my hands and wrists relaxed in order to get that proper release to shut the face.
