I had a similar problem, and two things helped. First, I just brought the club back straight and naturally, without overthinking, making sure to keep my spine centered and don't bob up or down. Second, let the wrists take care of themselves by gripping the club very lightly. A light grip is like adding RAM to your computer...it's an instant solution to a lot of problems.

Hope that helps!

Tim

can't disagree with any of the above advice! another tip I was just taught is to look at the velcro label on your left glove, assuming you are R handed, it should stay pointing ( initially) @ 90 degree perpendicular angle away from you. and your target line.....this means you are not rolling your wrists, in the takeaway...he told me to think like you are keeping this part of the glove facing the guy in front of you hitting on the range ....this works to keep you on plane while your shoulders start rotating...
