Spot on. It's a big circle - if you aren't screwing up that circle, to hit the ball past low point the clubhead will be moving back toward you. Look at the last chapter or Hogan's 5 lessons - see that diagram about ball and foot position? Right foot back. He's tilting the circle to the right. He says it's for a different reason, but whateva. The only way to hit the ball straight when hitting it past low point is to hit a pull if that circle isn't screwed up in some way. So aim right with the ball a little closer to you and hit a pull, or accept the fade if your brain can't stand to point the face along the plane, or drive yourself crazy trying to make that circle an oval. That last one will take a lot of timing, though.
