Yeah, I believe that "Flat shoulder trun" may very well be my problem.

1 more thing for today. Why on earth would my practice swing be an in-to-out plane line, but when you put a ball out there, I get the over the top bent plane???

This may happen if your first move back from the ball is over plane due to an 'over turn' or over swivel. Even though the hands/shaft appear to be coming inside, the fact that the over turn/swivel has occured means you need to compensate with an 'over the top' roundhouse move, or you may hit a big push or even a hosel rocket.

Try using a waggle similar to Stuart Appleby to get the feel for hands staying 'inside' the clubhead until hip high. Split grip drills can help too. This is part of what folks are trying to get across with the image of the club staying 'out in front' of you.

To add to bucket's previous posts on this.....

keep in mind that the hands (pressure points) should retain their relationship to the plane line, not to the body.
