Christian,

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express- so I will offer a perspective based upon only that qualification.

First, try this drill and only read beyond after you try it.

You mention hockey- grip the club normal with your left hand- place your right hand on the lower end of the grip and half on the shaft- ( a split grip) NOW - take a swing with but do not let the club release through the impact area ( use your right hand to stop release and hold the left wristcock)-
What happened???

My experience is - the force is enormous and if you swing hard the shaft will rip out of your right hand.

So what?- well we have proven to ourself that the club is going to come around without help so trust it to do that.

Take that feeling- which is the practice swing feeling also- to the ball. Swing your hands- be indifferent to the ball. dont care if you miss.. suddenly your divots will move 6" forward, your followthrough will happen by itself.

Now, you know its just the hands. Swinging or hitting Just the hands hanging on (clamping) the club handle.

Get that first then fix the other problems- As a smart man said- "or nothing else matters much".

Just my opinion
