Thanks 12pb, you nailed it, if I take my grip at impact fix it confirms that the back of my left hand is parallel to the clubface grooves, and with that grip, so far, I've been free from any unintentional hooks - a huge step for me towards a hands-centric swing.

On understanding 'C' - yep, I'm familiar with Andy Plumbers excellent explanation of starting a ball right and drawing it: the face being slightly open at impact, but slightly closed to the club path. Their using ball placement for path along with face angle to control curve has been the most effective method for me personally - great stuff. The catch for me was the neutrality of my grip, always a problem, until now it seems.
