I tend to have issues with pull hooks. Any thoughts on this DTL view?

Based on the down the line video, it looks like the pull portion of the pull hook is the biggest issue. If we look at the path check points halfway down and into the follow through we can get more information. The club face isn't overly closed in either position, so the pull hook is likely coming from a stall flip. They are both connected to the slight early extension during your downswing. Usually with this pattern, I'd try to work on getting into a better impact position and work from there. If you get into a better body impact position, don't be surprised if the ball goes a little more right. The challenge for your pattern is that eventually you will have to close the face earlier to allow you to not flip it closed at impact.

If you are an annual member, I'd start with the build my stock swing https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/courses/build-my-stock-swing/
course, otherwise try this circuit. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/impact-drill-circuit/
