How do you hand fight into an underhook?

I’m a high school junior with about 3 years of wrestling experience, and this past offseason I’ve been experimenting with underhooks. I’m starting to get a feel for the position and the offense you can do from there, like throw-bys, singles, knee picks, etc. My main ways of getting to an underhook are usually reverse wrist control into an underhook, club to to an underhook, or occasionally shooting into the position.The problem is, especially when guys realize I’m looking for the underhook, they start keeping their distance or actively preventing me from getting to it. A lot of the videos I’ve watched focus on what to do once you already have the underhook, rather than the hand-fighting sequences and setups to get there in the first place. What handfighting sequences should I learn to help me get to an underhook against someone who’s actively trying to prevent me from getting one? And are there any wrestlers I should watch who are good at setting up their underhooks? Also, what wrestlers or specific matches would you recommend watching to learn how to set up an underhook and Ideally, I’m looking for matches where both wrestlers are hand fighting hard and one has to work to create openings and get to the underhook instead of a matches where someone gets the position easily or is already dominating from it.
