Guys, I went to the range today and worked on the first two C4 drills.

Hi guys, I went to the range today and worked on the first two C4 drills (consistency and release), at the start I was hitting them a bit chunky, but I focused more on getting to the left side and cured that. When I got 8 out of 10 good on each with the balls going straight, I started going back a forth between full shots and the drills. My bad shots are pulls or blocks and I need to get my hip action clearance much better, sometimes I stall and stand up and even get sores under my right wrist when I make repeated bad movements! After a while I started getting shanks and pulls a lot. What happened here? I was doing the drills with both hands on the club and was hitting the checkpoints. Maybe there is a clue that when I started hitting balls with left hand and only two fingers, the shanks and the pulls stopped. It was very confusing though. Even when I first went to hitting left hand only I continued hitting pull shots and it felt like my shoulders were ripping open too, that's another clue. I had to make sure to swing straight to hit the ball straight and eventually did that. What drills do I need to start with to remove these issues? I'd love to be able to hit a Tommy Fleetwood push draw, but it is a very difficult shot for me to hit. Help would be very much appreciated.

I found I was better at both if these when I focused on keeping my trail shoulder back and tried to feel lead hand flat and pointed at target at impact while weight is forward
Hello Brian. Sound like shoulder spin combined with excessive lead arm pull. And, the struggles continue with too much trail hand interference. Tough to tell without video. I would take Craig's advice below on keeping trail shoulder back and take a look at Play the Best Golf of Your Life in 6 Weeks 2 of 6 to delete tension.
