What would this be called?

I was playing around at the range today and started taking a strong grip (right hand under) and having the feeling as if my arms and hips were were pulling the hands through the ball on a line say 1600-1000 on a clock face (where 0900 is the target line). Felt as if my hands were going well out to right field as they got flung in that direction

Started hitting a lot of blocks/pushes but strengthened the grip some more and then started hitting some great shots .. every now and then id hook one I think due to the strong grip and the fact the line my hands was taking was too much 'around the corner' after impact

Is this a swingers pattern? Pull the hands through with a strong grip? Felt I could hold the lag a lot longer here and the release was very late .. in that my hands felt they were well past the ball when the club 'snapped'. In fact the lighter I held it the more this happened

Felt pretty good but id be worried id hook the bejesus out of it on the course. Wonder if its something worth playing with some more over and above my twistaway/hit pattern?

It's called a good golf swing. Not a contrived one: a free swing. After some getting used to, you use the grip that neither hooks nor leaves it out on the right: by trial and error experimentation, where your goal is to grip it and rip it mindlessly.

Lose control to find "the middle."

To follow up on this the transition move I was working on was a roll off the right instep, pushing off my big toe and letting the hands just get pulled down into the back of the ball

Similar I think to Ballards ideas

Good, bad, ugly...anyone else do something similar?

I think when rolling by pushing off the right toe it promotes an OTT move. What effect would the rolling off the instep be if done from the heel?

I think a better thought would be to drive your right leg into the ground. The Sam Snead squat video will give you a good visual of what I'm talking about.
