I am side swiping the ball instead of going down and out are there any other drills besides cut shot therapy that might get rid of this thanks.

I'd try to determine if the problem is clubface or plane, first. If it's plane, and assuming from your post that you're coming too far under plane, going down and out is necessary but can be exaggerated. If you lose extensor action, you'll bend the plane instead of approaching on the angle of approach. Always try hitting on the straight baseline, first. Then you can experiment with angle of approach.
