Yep i rescue most of them with a slight pull. It's the ssshanks that are the killer when i have that slight OTT move and don't pull the hands in closer to the body

I've even resorted to hitting my short irons with the right foot back as per the drill - works ok but lost a couple of clubs worth of distance.

Any other drills or swing thoughts out there??

These have worked for me...

hit some balls over the first/second baseman's head

balance - make sure you're not on your toes, especially as you start down

quiet hips, especially the right hip. think slide instead turn. really, just stay out of the way of the shoulder and right arm.

Try thinking about what your right shoulder is doing, if it goes out first (like a baseball swing), you can't help but be OTT. Somebody recently posted a nice drill where you place a long club across your shoulders with the club head out to the right (for a righty), then try to hit the ball. You'll miss the ball, but you'll be able to see the correct right shoulder plane.
