Probably more how I'm explaining it than interpreting it 🤣 I think I've interpreted what you have described, and explained that I'm not doing that, but incorrectly 🤷🏻‍♂️

Miss at the moment is a big heel strike off the driver. Irons appear to be fine at the moment, miss with those is a big push. My grip deffo needs to continue to be worked on. Something Else I also noticed by watching my swing over and over and watching Pro's setup I have noticed that I place my left foot fine, but then when I place my right foot out into position I move my whole body doing so, also moving my centre line and left shoulder back, creating a kind of Eiffel tower base looking effect with my legs, both shoulders are equal distance from the instep of my feet. when I look at most pro setups, their lead shoulder is inline with their lead foot instep, and their trial shoulder has a much bigger gap between the instep of the trail foot. This leads them to look more straight up and down on their lead side and more right knee kicked in on their trail side. if that makes sense AT ALL. I tried this at the range last night, setting up my left foot and then moving my right foot without the body, and the strike was way way better and consistent, turn felt better etc, didnt video it, but something I will likely stick with

Latest lesson, game is a struggle at times 🤣 early extension troubles, flat shoulders on backswing. It's not going great with the big stick. Any attempt at maintaining spine angle on downswing causes the club to crash into the ground. Hate this game 🤣 I won't disagree with you as your knowledge far exceeds mine, but I literally can't get the grip more fingers without it resulting in a strong left hand. Any advice/tips I'll happily try them 🙂

Glad it helped! I had a range session last night and it has really taken the left side of the course out of play for me which is nice. Maybe fading them a little too much but that's less devastating on the course than a snapper for sure

Small hand syndrome, I said to the coach it felt palmy but he checked for me at the top of the backswing and said it was fine, still under the fat pad etc. It will become less pronounced the more I strengthen it as I bring it a little stronger bit by bit until the ball flight straightens out

Weight shift is next on the list but I need to groove this new feel and then work it back to a better shot shape. I started with a path +5 degrees out and a clubface -8 degrees. Hook city Ended with a path -0.5 and clubface +5. Straight fade/slice So now just to dial it back a touch.

Update, baby fades

Update: From my lesson I mentioned to the coach the regrip and he spotted me doing it as I placed my right hand on the grip of all places 🤣 we worked to maintain the left hand and weaken the right, slightly weaker face angle at parallel and holding the face open through impact, nice straight fades, some small some big but a big departure from the duck hooks. Now just need to slowly dial it back to either a manageable fade or straight-ish

Possibly, deffo trying to weaken my right hand somewhat. Left hand I believe is fine as I'm mostly fingers there with grip under the fat pad. But my lesson tomorrow will hopefully shed some light

Ah makes sense, so setting up tense means as my arms relax it hoods the club So doing the opposite of setting up soft would likely keep square or open the face when tense, as opposites attract and all that

Yeah I've been trying to weaken that hand (at the time I was also consciously trying to match clubface to spine) I've found though weakening that hand kind of exacerbates the hook, I'm guessing a compensation from somewhere else creeps in 🤷🏻‍♂️ I've mentioned in my grip post that when I take my grip at address it is square, but if I stand up out of address and relax my arms it holds the hell out of the club, I have a lesson Tuesday hopefully to help but I just can't fathom why soft arms would hood the club, I would of thought it would open it 🤣

Yeah I really want to avoid the rabbit hole if I can 🤣 I'm not sure I'm going to make my lesson Tuesday though, whatever I did to the back of my hand at the range is getting worse, but that's a whole separate issue 🤣

UPDATE: Current swing. Duck hooking the hell out of my irons 😞

Yeah I only managed to get round by trying to play a proper "upright and cut across fade" kinda shot, was hit and miss, still left the course with a 95 and verging on tears 😄 I have a lesson booked this coming Tuesday, I have had one with the same instructor recently but it was our first lesson so didn't get much from it really, I've put below a video's from the lesson but I'm not sure what I can garner from it 😄

Hi All, I recently got back into golf after a 5 year lay off (Covid and life issue related) and what started out as a really great return to the game has very quickly gone to pot! I have developed a very extreme duck hook with all my irons, I'm hitting fat, and at some points I hit it so bad the shooting pain in the back of my hand is excruciating. My question is, I have noticed that after taking my grip, with the face aligned to target, I take a practice swing, but I appear to re-grip the club and when taking my address position again it is very hooded. To make it even more complicated when I tense/straighten my arms in the setup position it squares slightly, and when I relax my arms it hoods again. If I twizzle the club round in my grip from hooded to square again it feels strange and I hit the worse feeling shots of my life Randomly the more I weaken my grip the more it hooks Has anyone experienced this before or can understand what is going on?
