If I rotate more my hips during the downswing/more I keep the spinal column angle my downswing plane will be more from the inside

Is that correct?

Not neccessarily. It's more complex than that. You can still over-spin the hips and cast the club out-in. I do it all the time.

No.

It's actually rare that a golfer rotates their hips too much on the downswing. There's the dreaded "spin out move", but that's mistakenly thought of as a hip rotation problem. Instead, what happens is the golfer improperly rotates the shoulders and comes over the top.

Anyway, you have the right idea, rotate the hips and maintain a constant spine angle. But if you have the improper downswing sequence, you're likely to come over the top.

The downswing sequence should be:

1. Left knee (or lead knee) moves towards the target
2. Hips rotate (they do NOT slide)
3. Shoulders rotate
4. Hands Drop
5. Club drops

The problem with most over the top swings is that they'll do #4 before they ever do steps 1-3 and that usually causes an over the top move.

here's my problem, sometimes I get this downswing, mostly when I'm under pressure.

No.

So true sadly as has been evidenced by my problems of late.
