Compression and a Draw? Nice. Then per 7-2 manipulated hands swinging, as the ball moves back in the stance for the shorter clubs you Rotate your Grip so the face stays aligned to the target. You do this by spinning or rotating the clubs grip in your loosened hands not by rotating your hands anti clockwise. Now from this back in the stance ball position with the Rotated Grip, if you swing along the arc of approach , tracing the straight line plane you will tend towards a draw shot. However the draw tendency is reduced by the increased plane angle. Given horizontal hinging you will nut the thing, total compression with a delofted clubface. If anything the tilted backspin will start the ball at your target line and then bend it slightly left. If you want to bend it more play it further back in the stance and rotate the grip more. You'll have to point your target line sufficiently right of your intended landing area.

For all but a truly vertical plane of motion the club does move OUT as it approaches low point. We keep trying to straighten it out to make it a more linear deal (steering) but the clubhead is swung OUT and DOWN to low point. Imagine a circle laying on a inclined plane.
