When I start to Trace a Plane Line that is too Inside Out, this is usually my problem. My eye line looks just like MM is trying to get you to do. My right ear ends up closer to my right shoulder than my left ear is to my left shoulder. Your eyes can fool you. Two wrongs can make a right, but there are better ways to fix the OTT.
If it's ok for Kev, I'll copy up some stuff to read (and let others read if they want):
...
THE GOLFING MACHINE is about making thoughtful and
knowledgeable Choices leading to the ultimate goal of
having an Uncompensated Stroke Pattern.
The three all-encompassing Primary Concepts on which all details can be easily
attached as they surface - THE HINGE ACTION (2-G)
of an ANGULAR MOTION (2-K) operating on an INCLINED PLANE (2-F)
"Give me a flat left wrist, a lag pressure point
and a straight plane line, I can teach anyone to play golf"
THE SECRET OF GOLF IS NOT A POSITION - IT’S A PRESSURE!
Centered Pivot - STEADY HEAD ALWAYS CENTERED Between The Feet
CLUB ALWAYS ON PLANE
The FLAT LEFT WRIST controls the CLUB-FACE
The RIGHT SHOULDER is the LIASON between the
POWER PACKAGE and the PIVOT
SET UP
♦ Take grip at low point with left wrist vertical.
♦ Level Left Wrist at address and right forearm on plane with all clubs
♦ Set up with left foot outside left shoulder – Lee Trevino Step – Helps
get weight moving left on downstroke – Get the core moving level over
a flat – stable left foot. – GEORGE KNUDSON
♦ Feel bend in knees
♦ Knuckles line up underneath shaft
♦ Flare out the both feet.
♦ Don’t get ball too far back in stance
♦ Aim Left, Swing Right, Walk Down the Middle – LEE TREVINO
ACCUMULATION – LOADING - STORAGE
♦ Shoulders turning too flat. “FEEL” Rotated Shoulder Turn on backstroke.
♦ Right Forearm needs to fan more right away at startup to get the club on
plane. Work on Swing Plane, one end always pointed at target line.
♦ Feel load & lag pressure in hands
♦ Float Loading - Right wrist angle increases on downswing
DELIVERY
♦ Release #4 and #1 earlier and faster with the goal of getting hands to
aiming point. Not releasing accumulators #4 and #1 creates too much
axis tilt, and the right hip gets in the way of the delivery of the hands.
♦ Get left knee in front of left foot at start of down stroke. HULA – HULA
♦ Deliver lag pressure to impact & beyond with flat left/bent right wrists
♦ The left knee must move in front of the left hip on the down stroke. The
left hip must move in front of the left shoulder.
RELEASE
♦ Get back to the Elbow Plane to make better use of PA #3
♦ Need more Extensor Action at Impact and Follow Through. Left arm
breaks down right after impact due to lack of EA. This also helps get the
club back on plane with finish swivel.
♦ Keep steady head centered. When the head moves forward, the body
stops…
♦ Arms need to stay closer to body after impact and re-hinge.
♦ Your body can’t rotate if your head doesn’t. Rotate the head towards the
target on the down-stroke. Hogan - Annika
♦ Keep the right hip and right shoulder moving through the ball
FINISH
♦ My “Palm Springs” feeling of rotating the chest helps extend the spine!
♦ My hands need to be educated to go back up the plane at follow through
to finish.
♦ It's the right arm that takes the club to finish back up plane.
♦ Finish swivel – Feel like the left wrist never bends!
♦ Annika Eyes
♦ RELEASE THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HIPS
Hi Air,
Please note these are just random notes of some things I am fooling with as swing thoughts, not meant to be a blueprint for anybody. I just don't want my random notes/thoughts to confuse or goof anybody up... Also, nothing I have is original. All taken from posters here and other sites.
Thanks,
Kevin

LOL
Drew, I have the same issue as you, getting too far inside and my shoulders are way under plane. Doing the opposite of Mr. Malaska's drill for me, getting my Eye Line on my baseline, instead of pointed right, seems to really help me...
Feel from mechanics. I would teach the student where we ultimately want his eyeline, parallel to the baseline, and perhaps he needs to feel exaggerated to get there...
Does that make any sense?
Kevin

It may not be original, but it's good enough for me (and probably some others as well) to take a look at - or even comment...?
I am flying blind here. Not knowing your unique situation and the root causes without seeing your motion, I will make some general comments regarding Zone One. Your issues may not be in Zone One, but I’ll take that chance.
After you Start Down with a Slide with a Delayed Turn to create some Axis Tilt, incorporate the following… I have been using this drill with my students for quite sometime with great success.

This will give you immediate feel of getting the right shoulder down on plane. If you have not been doing this then it will feel quite different.
This single drill got me to focus on my right shoulder and I can now feel immediately when I am not down on plane with my right shoulder. I took film after this drill and the difference is quite startling."

Thanks. Absolutely worth a try.
In case you want to give any more advice - here's my swing:
Do you have any flexibility or health issues?
Do you have a close up of your grip?
Describe your ball flight?
What do you best shots look like?
What is your favorite and least favorite club in your bag?
Do you practice Impact Fix?
Work on the Zone One Drill in a mirror before we move on. Don't worry if it feels "different". That is a good thing.
There are other issues that need to be addressed based on your answers to the questions above.

Makes sense to me Kevin. Precision In, Precision Out.
0 Do you have any flexibility or health issues?
1 Do you have a close up of your grip?
2 Describe your ball flight?
3 What do you best shots look like?
4 What is your favorite and least favorite club in your bag?
5 Do you practice Impact Fix?
6 Work on the Zone One Drill in a mirror before we move on. Don't worry if it feels "different". That is a good thing.
7 There are other issues that need to be addressed based on your answers to the questions above.
0. No
1. No, but I'm now using a pretty strong grip (3 knuckles)
2. Fade/slice or pull.
3. Straight / a little fade. On the high side.
4. Best 8-6 irons. Worst: driver on my bad shots
5. Yes - even used it, but after trying swinging instead of hitting I'm using adjusted address.
6. ok
I got Rhythm, I got Music, I got a Flat Left who could ask for anything more?
We also have some Horizontal Bending of the Left Wrist through Impact. Uncocking of the Left Wrist is a Clubhead Motion. The Hands execute the Clubface Motion. In your case, the Wrist Motion is throwing the clubface at the ball, resulting in Steering and Clubhead Throwaway. Steering gets its work done with it partner in crime Quitting. We will have to learn to swing the Hands not the clubhead. Do you have a copy of the TGM?
Reference 2-P and 4-D-0, 4-D-1.
