TJ:

Thanks for the reply. I actually do feel the "underhand swing motion" you point out. As a matter of fact I believe my minor hip movement allows me to keep my hand from coming across my body and pulling the ball. I feel like I'm following the ball straight at the target. To be completely honest, the slight turn at impact also feels more comfortable and dare I day natural (familiar) to the traditional swing, while maintaining single axis set up and shoulders square to ball. Thanks your comments has been helpful.
