You sliced. You hook. We all do. However, the exaggeration of these losses is exactly what you need Run your handcuffs for good.
I’ll make it simple. Without a club, swing in your release. As you move through your influence to mock, pretend that you are holding at the club so that, in your release, the back of your hand forwards to the sky and the thumb (as it would stand on the handle during a real oscillation) show to the right of the target line (above left). Welcome to high and right.
Make another pace. This time, rotate your lead hand, so much so that the back of it shows toward the ground and the thumb shows to the left of the target line (above right). You thought it: low and left.
Feeling these two extremes is the best way to get your lead hand in the right position to hit the ball straight, with the back of your lead hand pointing at the target and your big toe that runs down (above).
