[O.B.Left]

The shaft does kick forward and is not an indication of Throwaway necessarily. For iron shots the impact with the ground bends it back, again. The difference in bend as seen in slow mo vs regular is the subject of some debate. Some think its an illusion or artifact some say its real. Either way assuming a properly fit shaft for your swing speed the cause of your hook lies elsewhere. Divergence between face angle and clubhead path is the place to start your search. Then search out the why associated with your faulty impact geometry. Work it backwards from Impact in other words.

As you do this sort of thing more and more you'll start to notice patterns and most likely
see root causes that have associated subconscious compensations that mask the root problem. For instance : a guy hitting weak fades. Diagnosis: open face at impact and outside in path. The face reverse rolling , steering vertical hinging as a compensation for the outside in path which hit the odd left to left shot prior to the compensation. Cure: fix the club head path and roll a horizontal hinge which brings back all the lost compression.

Ok you probably guessed this is one of my patterns if so, you are correct. In working on covering , trapping mid irons while hitting indoors over the winter, I'd over done it , not worked through my entire bag enough and had ingrained a slight over the top move . Which works for a mid iron kinda sorta but is a disaster with a less lofted club , long iron
or driver.

So there's cause, compensation, cure and the reason behind the whole sad affair. Well intentioned though it was. When I got my Horizontal back the balls starting flying again.

So if some guy on the range offers you a tip...... Ask yourself if it's a compensation or not. It may seem to work but only serve to further mask your real issue. Professional help speeds up the healing process.

Nice swing there jlcowper you look like you can bend a shaft pretty good
