But if you keep your left shoulder closed and your head back, something has to complete the swing, and that something for a lot of people will be their hands. It's an overcompensation for hanging back, which normally causes the ball to go right because you don't get through the shot. Instead, you overrotate with your arms through and basically hit a top spin forehand that drives the ball into the ground.
Also, most people misinterpret their actual ball flight. A real snap hook will have a divot pattern that points to the right, indicating an excessive in-out swing path. The ball will start right and snap hard left.
That's different than a pull-hook, which will actually go much farther left. Your swing path is the opposite, out to in.
Also, pull-hooks will be hit off the heel. A true snap hook is hit off the toe.
