Remember the "Hands are just clamps". Dont cock the left hand with the hands. The left hand will cock on its own, if/when the right side of the triangle, the right arm shortens (right elbow bend). The thing about the left arm/shoulder push away, especially when the right side is stiff is that the triangle is maintained. No right side shortening. Often resulting in an outside startup, angled hinging or even a dead shut clubface, over rotation of the shoulders, a too steep shoulder plane etc etc. Not saying your doing all of this by any means. The golfer tending towards hand manipulation to get things back on Plane.

You'd take it back on line if you bent your right arm earlier, ideally accompanied with a little fanning and no left side push away. An RFT in other words. If there is no right elbow bend there is no Magic of the Right Forearm. Extensor Action helps in all of this. Its weird stuff but when you get it you'll never go back.

Make it a right sided game, even if you are swinging. You look like a good player, hope this helps. It took me 2 years to get the left side push away out of my game and I dont miss it at all. Id been doing it since I was 12 years old too. Somebody somewhere, dont remember who, gave me some advice about a One Piece Takeaway that I mistook to be a Left Side Pushaway with Two Stiff Arms. Man did that waste a lot of my time. Rock the Triangle is one way to attack putting maybe but not Major Basic Strokes. Ill never get those years back. Dont freeze your right elbow in Startup. Start with it soft and bent and on plane, with a little EA providing some structure, clear the right hip and then RFT baby. Thoughts about rolling or cocking will be a distant memory, after a little training.
