Looks like a good hand to swing the axe.

I’m a reluctant doubler much of the time, because we open virtually all 11 counts. So I don’t double on 9 counts. But here, I have more than enough. I also like my diamond king sitting behind declarer plus I have a good suit to lead

It could go wrong but if they never make a doubled contract against you, you’re not doubling enough. And this could be a bloodbath

Best of all, my shape suggests they may have no place to run or, if they do, no way to get there

I was a little unsure about making a penalty double, I did consider 2♣

2♦ looks like a new partner asking bid, you comfortably have your opening bid, you don't have much of a diamond suit, why remove it
