Nice, RC! You are the wind beneath my wings! #3 has helped me out quite a bit. I "cheat" all the time! It drives home the reality that every shot is distinct and must be "chosen." This idea of "just hitting it" is incomplete. You gotta verify a plane line...select a hinge action...load...store and release etc.

What ails The Pail?
What is your tendency? A month ago I started to hit push-cuts (not a shot I am well familiar with) I didn't panic. After a bucket of golf balls I moved the ball an inch closer to low point and presto! I had it too far back. Is your driver a good fit and have you suffered any traumatic experiences that may reduce you to gelatin (Mike O aside)

Compromised Right Shoulder geometry from lotsa goat humping . . . hips go toward the plane line instead of parallel to the plane line . . . . shaft lays down gets under plane . . . face has to get really open to hit a push otherwise the path is so far right of the face it goes HARD left.

Bucket have you tried "ABG", Ass Back Golf? Im reluctant to give the name of my future book away but there you have it. The lever extension coming more from the left knee than the spine angle as a drill or a feel to help steady the left shoulder in 3D space.

Yep . . . that's what I'm working on now . . . it's gotten lots better with the irons . . .driver still a struggle.

Are you sure that Mike O doesn't have a copy right on that name?

Too much CP? You gotta watch that "dark side" stuff! Are you tracing the right plane line? I ask that because perhaps your hips ARE moving parallel...just not relative to the "square" plane line, savvy? That push can work, though, at least the face matches the clubhead with a degree of reliability. Make sure the handle is "high enough" so you don't go Pelosi-left! Ball postion to...that up plane...super duper shoulder tilts deluxe deal has limitations.Perhaps the ball is too far up plane? You would have to move cross-line it would seem to get an in to out impact. You have educated hands...start tracing and aiming! I dunno that is all I gots. Sounds like you have the "divergence dirges"...stop polishing it!
