Martee, thanks for your thoughts and I definitely agree with extensor action helping with staying on plane.

My stance used to be closed and pointing to the right of the target (I say "used to be", but this is something I still have to work on pretty hard). I now try to set up square (parallel to the plane/target line). I am using adjusted address.

Besides trying to take the clubshaft and hands right up plane, instead of under it, I am really trying to limit my backswing for hitting (instead of loading for swinging), and this seems a little easier if I conciously "clear the right hip".

Back to extensor action, I think this is the glue I need to both stay on plane and to limit my backswing to right shoulder height. When I really apply it is next to impossible to overswing, but trying to consiously apply it when actually hitting balls proves to be more difficult than when just practising with it...I guess its just 1 of those things you have to just keep working on till it becomes natural and suboncious.
