Write or talk to someone at the Carolinas office at 3822 Highway 9 East, P. O. Box 709, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29597-0709. I am sure they will have some information for you. Can you suggest where I might start to look for a remedy. The rest slice the ball. First place to look is in the way your hands are applied to the club.
Any hook is hit with a closed clubface.
It sounds as if your clubface is severely closed. Work slowly at turning your hands more to the left until your left hand is on top of the club and the back of your left hand is facing the same way your clubface is facing, towards target. The reason I say work slowly is that grip changes are big feel differences and if you do it slowly then you can make the overall adjustment a little easier. Find the closest Canadian PGA Professional and have him check out that grip first and then take some lessons. You are already on your way to becoming a good player, find someone to help you create better swing and practice habits.
