Answer by C2266
the ball position is definately wrong if its only with this club. the ball should be just inside your right heal…so just check that. More than likely if you are hooking it the ball is too far forward!

You just need to make adjustment on your own and have the proper distance when you address the ball.
Go out on the range and practice… practice… practice…
There could be a couple of things going on.
First, C2266 is wrong, moving the ball more forward helps not to hook. So, you might try moving it forward in you stance.
Second, does this club have the same flex shaft as your other woods? A shaft that is too flexible will make you hook.
Third, just something that I have found to help with fairway wood shots, is concentrate on hitting down on the back of the ball versus sweeping it.

What are you doing differently if you don’t hit hooks with your other clubs? Check your grip. That is the first thing you should always do. If that is not the issue then you are probably rolling your hands too much and that closes the club face. Keep it square at impact and that should solve your problem.
