If you go low hands, ie Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller, there can be a tendency to rise up through impact so you don't stick the club in the ground. In your right forearm takeaway, halfway back do not let your right elbow go behind you, make it stay on the same plane it started at to the top of the swing. This should prevent the too inside move, at least it works for me.
Great stuff Dodger!

I really enjoy trying to get my right forearm on plane at address, but I think even more importantly, getting my left wrist level. That is HUGE for my consistency.
