I don't mind putting effort/focus into "artificially maintaining" a position during setup in order to "effortlessly maintain" that position during the swing

You can have a strong grip (left and right hand) but think about hitting the ball with your left hands pinky) (prevents hook)

Weaken the left hand to avoid a hook, strengthen the left hand to avoid a slice

The swing plane is driven by your shoulders so **use you scapula to set your shoulders. **

Want to swing in to out?

• protract left shoulder, retract right shoulder.

Want to swing out to in?

• retract left shoulder, protract right shoulder.

Rehearse your club path directly over the ball before hitting. Feel right shoulder moving under chin

The grip you take, should be determined by which side (left or right) your feels will be coming from

Learn how to maintain grip angle without affecting grip pressure or grip strength (in the traditional sense of the word)

Just work from a straight armed impact position backward

The hand/shaft join should form 1 plane and the club head should form another.

The club head plane shouldn't cross the grip/shaft plane

You should be pushing away/using a little bit of leg drive in the direction that is 180° to a club

Maybe start thinking about the right hand/arm more

Play these off your back foot NOT because there something special about that specific location inherently, but because the right hand/arm should be the driving force of these shots, and this allows your center of mass to be in front of the ball (angle left
foot toward hole so you can't trust the weight shift).

• Steep AOA for spin
• AOA can be independent of release point

You willingly accept that linear progress isn't a reasonable expectation in the gym - why should the golf course be any different?

Uses your wrists to ensure acceleration, slow the arms to Control the shot

"Blade" shoulders a bit towards target, protract scapula towards ball to reach for grip. Good for short game/pitching

Is the feel of the club face relative to the target line or the club path?

Internally rotate left humerus, Internally or externally rotate forearm to set grip depending on what you want to protect for, go from there
