How much does shape count?
My hearts are great, the A♠ and ♦ is stunning but the clubs look like an absolute wasteland.



You likely don't agree with my first bid, but I had a plan.

I am always bidding to at least 4♥, and almost certainly taking out their 4♠. We need to convince partner of our extreme shape, and the suit length disparity, for finding the right suit at the 5-level and deciding what to do over 5♠.

So bid clubs next.

At imps I just bid 4H and over 1D. I’m not giving them an easy action. Sure, things could go badly but that’s the cost of doing business and it’s surprising how often the opps do not do the right thing under pressure.

Yes, I think a direct 4H over 1D would be my choice as well.
You still can and should bid 4H now, if 4S comes back, ..., I guess I will bid 5C, it is 75
and you have only 1 def. trick.
With kind regards
