My hookiest shots were the ones where I was swinging slow - which, I assume, is a problem with my swing, but somehow one that fixes itself (somewhat) when I really whack it? Golf is weird.
Honestly, I'd kind of like to be able to swing slower. I'm getting older, and a hundred balls swinging full out just leads to sore palms and sore elbows.

That's a pretty common thing: I struggle when I try to take something off it as well. Maybe try swinging full-force, but "smoothly" if that makes sense? It improved my game a lot when I tried to hit the ball fast rather than hard.
Also, if you're hooking the ball, you've got a "closed" clubface. Try just opening your face at address (pointing right if you're a righty), and make the same swing.
