I'd appreciate drills, swing thoughts, training aids, anything that might help, the simpler the better. By the way, I'm a swinger. Thank you.

teach,
You are subconsciously Steering (3-F-7-A) the Club toward the
Target instead of Down-and-Out toward the
Plane Line (1-L #10 and #13). And the only real cure is to rid yourself of that addiction.
Do a ton of
Start Down Waggles. First without a Club and then with a Club. Focus on your
Hands and their responsibility to maintain the On Plane alignments. Make sure you Drag the
Hands (and butt end of the Club) directly
toward the Plane Line. In your practice, mentally draw a straight line (Delivery Path) from the #3 Pressure Point to the Ball and move your Hands directly along this line throughout the Downstroke (6-E-2). Use a mirror, too. Don't trust Feel alone. Front and Down-the-Line views. Look,
look LOOK until you get it right. Then go at it with a Ball.
Practice the Inside-Out Cut Shot Therapy with short Chips. And hit a ton of Acquired Motion Pitch Shots, too. Make sure you have a Finish Swivel in your Total Motion (12-5-3). See my post #6, Item #10 in this thread
http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=2224. Do whatever you've got to do to get that Club moving through Impact on the correct Inside-Out Path. Because until you do, nothing else really works.
