System suggestion - Garbage Stayman

Twice recently I have found myself declaring a 5-2 H fit rather than a 5-4 S fit, when robot partner transferred to H after my 1NT opener with a weak 5-5 in the majors. I suggest this simple alternative. All hands with length in both majors and no game interest start with 2C and correct 2D to 2H, pass or correct. With 4-5 and invitational values, transfer to H then bid S. And with 5-4 invitational, use Stayman and correct 2D to 2S.

 

This does not always ensure reaching the best fit, but when opener holds a 4 card major, it does.
