How do I cure a hook?
Answers:
1) An inside to out swing path. This imparts a hook spin onto the ball. The ball starts right and hooks (or draws) back to the left. To cure this, make a box out of six tees by making two parallel rows of three tees each. The rows should be about 12 inches long and 6 inches apart.

Practice swinging with your driver making, the club path go through the box (i.e. through the two parallel rows) without hitting a tee. This exercise will help you see flaws and teach you to swing straight through the ball.
2) Hitting the ball with a closed club face. This usually makes a snap hook that starts left and keeps going left... (as you yell: "Noooooo!")
To cure this, adjust your grip. The vee (shape between your thumb and index finger) on your left hand should point toward your chin. The vee on your right hand should point toward your left shoulder. You can adjust by turning your right hand to left (counterclockwise) to make a more open face at impact and to the right for a more closed face.
Hope this helps.

Here's one possible solution:by Kim Jeong-kyoo

A hook is a shot that curves from right to left and can be divided into three types: straight, push and pull hooks.
A straight hook initially starts toward the target but curves to the left at the end of its flight.
A push hook starts to travel to the right of the ball-target line and later curves to the left.
A pull hook begins to fly toward the left of the ball-target line and curves more to the left.
As the force thrusting the ball toward the target diminishes, the ball starts to curve either to the right or left, influenced by the side spin that is created by the clubface position that is open or closed at impact.
The hook results from the closed clubface position at impact relative to the path of the clubhead and its initial direction varies depending upon the clubhead path through impact.
The clubhead that travels along the ball-target line through impact causes the ball to start along the ball-target line, while the clubhead moving on an inside-out path at impact drives the ball to start to the right of the ball-target line. Allowing the clubhead to work on an outside-in path through the ball prompts the shot to start to the left of the target.
A closed clubface at impact results possibly from a grip that is too strong. At impact the hands turn back to return to their neutral positions. And holding the club with too strong a grip with the hands turned too far to the right causes the clubface to be closed at impact.
Setting up with a closed body alignment or standing too far from the ball can also bring about the hook. They force the club to work on too flat a plane with a shallow angle of attack, prompting you to rotate the clubhead prematurely.
Also, aiming the clubface right of the target or positioning the ball too far back in your stance tends to cause your body to be aligned parallel to the right of the ball-target line, thus prompting the clubhead to move back inside the ball-target line. When that happens, the clubhead returns back to the ball equally on a path that is inside out, forcing the ball to start to travel right of the target. You will push to the right of the target, producing a push or a push-hook depending upon the clubface alignment at impact.
By the same token, the clubface aimed left of the ball-target line and the ball positioned too far forward in your stance causes your body to be aligned left of the target, prompting the clubhead to be swung back excessively outside the ball-target line. When that happens, the clubhead moves on an outside-in swing path through impact, causing a pulled shot that starts to travel to the left of the target. You will produce a pull, pull-hook or pull-slice depending upon the clubface position at impact.
What has to be done first to cure the hook is to take a neutral grip. A neutral grip returns your hands to their neutral position at impact, squaring the clubface to the target.
Also crucial to fixing the hook problem is to stand erect with the ball positioned neither too far back nor too far forward in your stance and set up squarely with a proper distance from the ball.
A must to cure the hook is to aim the clubface directly to the target and make a smooth swing in synchronization at a leisurely pace. Jerking the club with your hands causes you to not only lose your balance but also precipitate the rotation of the clubface with your hands, thus resulting in a hook.
Importantly, try to feel the clubface position and the clubhead weight during the swing. That promotes a good tempo and rhythm, helping you hit a shot that travels straight.
Another good way to promote a good tempo is to place your head behind the ball at address and focus on keeping it there during the entire swing. That helps you swing in good tempo and balance on a proper swing plane and path, encouraging your lower body to correctly initiate the downswing without you having to try too much. It will eventually encourage all parts of your body to work in harmony, promoting a shot that travels far and straight.

Try a number of systems, or combination of them, and see what you're most comfortable with.Stand closer to the ball. You'll have a more vertical swing and you'll have less tendency to "inside-out" which occurs with too much swivel in the hips.
Concentrate on the shoulders. Bring the cub head straight back with a shoulder turn. Again, there will be less hip action and the swing won't be as flat.
If you're right handed, rotate your right hand counter- clockwise a bit on the grip. My brother's palm points skyward too much, and when his wrists roll through the impact zone, it closes the toe of the club head too much. That results in a lot of right to left spin.
I've mentioned hips a couple of times because that is usually the cause of my missing left. Widening my stance keeps my hips a little quieter.
