I don't know Martinez method very well but what you describe sounds pretty much like a personal fit.
Great answer above by BerndtR. My advice will go back to basics. Feel from proper mechanics rather than mechanics from feel. Any "feels" you have while loading the club must comply with your selected plane. Please study 1-L-5 and 6 and then 7 through 11. Lots of ways to properly load the pressure points and accumulators, find YOUR way, but make sure your "feels" comply with the plane.

My apologies if too basic, but that's where I'm at right now, and teaching the Imperatives, essentials, along with 1-L-5 and 6 has been huge in watching my students improve.

Beyond that, there are MANY great folks here who can and will help.

Have some fun experimenting!
