Goes off low and hooks hard and the ball will be dead!
Goes off low in what direction?

This is why I bought Leadbetter's training grip, and stuck it on a spare 6i bought for £4.
All this counting knuckles and pointing v's means nothing to me.
Out right then hard left.
Can only guess without seeing your stance but would guess your clubface is open at impact and you are cutting across the ball very in to out.
Its so difficult to suggest what may be wrong with your grip without seeing the swing. If your hands are well ahead of the ball at impact you may need to strenghten your grip to square the face.

Pull.
Funnily enough I agree.
He's standing closed to the target and hitting a pull which is why it's starting (what he perceives to be) out to the right.
Pulls go straight left, his starts out straight then turns hard left. Thats a hook to me.Funnily enough I agree.

Semantics Straight-pulls go straight left, although you are right it's a pull-hook or a pull-draw depending exactly where it starts. For some reason I just call them pulls (I'm such a terrible person!)..... although in 'old money' they were a 'draw from a closed stance'
I think he's after a fix....
Loosen your grip, open the clubface about 3° and retake your normal grip. It should start the ball a little more right (that is the goal) and it will then also curve less you can try 5° 6° etc... just experiment, normal swing and grip so the only thing you are changing in your entire swing is the clubface.
Eventually the goal is to get you to line up square and hit 'smaller shaped ball flights'.
Your left thumb is straight down the top of the grip (12 o'clock) or a little to the right side of it 1 o'clock?, 2 o'clock??
