I'm hitting
from the top I want my thrust ( the straightening of the right arm/elbow pushing on top of the left thumb) to go in a straight line down into the 4 o'clock point on the ball, I want to feel the clubhead lag pressure on my right indexfinger, and passively direct that feel the same way. I want my shoulderline to trace the planeline, and so the right shoulder is also going down into the ball. In order to do that I need to make at lateral move forward with the hips (axis tilt). I've found out that I get the best results if I bumb the left hip out to the right field a little, crossline.

The "pump"-drill, or start down waggles do it for me.

If I take practice swings/hits, I'll concentrate on the shoulders tracing the planeline on the first one. With the second one I'll concentrate on directing the thrust and the pressure points down, out and forward into the ball. And then hopefully it comes together when I hit the ball.
