PGA instructor Dan McCracken reviews a student lesson focused on correcting a closed clubface and hook. By weakening the right-hand grip and increasing body rotation through impact, golfers can round out their arc and improve contact. The lesson also covers optimal driver setup for high-launch/low-spin and short-game ball positioning for trajectory control.

• To fix a closing face, weaken the right-hand grip by placing it more 'on top' of the club rather than underneath.
• Rotating the chest and rib cage more to the left through impact prevents the arms from 'chasing' and helps avoid heel-side contact.
• For driver distance, position the ball off the lead big toe and tilt the spine slightly away from the target to hit up on the ball.
• In the short game, keep the stance narrow and 70-80% of your weight on the lead leg for cleaner contact.
• Adjust trajectory in chipping by moving the ball to the back foot for low rollers and the front foot for higher lobs.
