Your double is fair. On a non club lead declarer takes all 13 tricks if he goes with the odds in trumps (drop).
7 spades, 3 hearts and 3 diamonds.
Club lead is the only lead that may make him go down (misguessing spades later).

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

- Interests:My personal interests are my family and my friends. I am extremely concerned about the lives and futures of the kids (and their families) that I work with. I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

how about "another lead and they make 7"?
"That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!"

on 2 boards they went down 1 both diff leads I need to look at boards again
It is rarely sensible to judge your actions solely by looking at the other results on a board.
Often if you actually analyse the hand you will realise that people did better than you solely because their opponents played really badly.
Here, for instance, on a non-club lead the obvious line (which happens to make) is to cash two trumps and discard the ♣ ♥ on the long ♦.
