The lag

Indeed I feel like I get to the position shown in the bottom left picture pretty well

HOWEVER, from that point Im really struggling. Im not sure how to get through the ball and release properly and end up hitting blocks or high pushes. To save that on the course I flip and fight a hook

What should I learn to get from that pre impact position with an open clubface and a bent right arm to get through the ball correctly without using my hands? Finish swivel?
It's the "lag" you are missing. Load and sustain the "lag".

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
