The patient explained that he works the Basic and Acquired Motions to his satisfaction. Nevertheless, he is plagued with shanks and hosel rockets from hell in his Total Motion. The Patient believes that he is possessed and he believes that he needs to be diagnosed immediately. The patient refuses to play a round of golf this season due to his maladies. The patient is in need of a long-term medical solution.
Get the club 'up' plane. You are likely coming far inside.

A couple drills to check:

get up against a wall (backside to wall) and make some slow motion backswings with a wedge. Get those hands 'under' the shaft (as a swinger).

take a driver\dowel and grip it down near the clubhead end. See where the grip end is pointing at halfway back - is it pointing at your plane line?
