I need help with getting the ball to go straight. Right now it goes straight to the left, not hooking to the left. My grip is neutral, ball set where it should be and shoulders and feet set up square to target line.On my down swing I do a good job of transfering my weight back to the left by releasing my hip but the ball goes far to the LEFT. The one lesson I did have, the pro told me that I was not keeping the left arm angle at impact and showed me on camera that I was flipping my wrists. It seems I have trouble putting the two concepts together, hip release and left arm angle. I have tried setting up with a open stance, similiar to a pitch shot, and that seems to work sometimes but not consistently. If any of you guys could help me with some drills or advice it would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry I can not put a camera shot of my swing on this but I have not figured out to do all that with my digital camera.
Thank You
