I am currently working on a tiny draw shot shape (1-3 or precisely 2 yards which is perfect) and I am employing the D-Plane Laws, which means for a tiny draw, I'd have to zero out the path with the face open just right so it matches with the low point of my swing (ahead of ball) so the ball will start a tiny bit left then draw back. Any drills for that? I just want to zero out my path, NOT the face angle (or else I'll hook it off the planet). So what's the best drill for zeroing out the path?

start left and draw back?  Are you a lefty?  Also for something that precise you would need a trackman so for a drill I would practice making 30k you can spend it on one.

Yep, I'm a lefty :P I don't want to buy TrackMan, I just want drills for zeroing out the path (inside-inside path) while controlling the face angle.

what is your current shot shape?  I believe controlling the face is the most important thing since plane doesn't usually change much.  If your shot shape right now is a tiny draw you should be pretty close to perfect.  To tweak your shot shape I would just change the way you setup to the ball.  You can setup more open or closed on the circle to get the desired shot shape and play with ball position.

It's more of a severely starting left kind of shape (too much inside-out), I need to make it inside to inside swing path with forward shaft lean and hitting down while the face is a tad open to get a tiny draw instead of straight due to D-Plane laws. I mistaked the zeroed out swing path with inside to inside swing path, I forgot there's a difference between those two swing paths. According to D-Plane laws, if I have an inside-inside swing path while hitting down, since the direction of the D-Plane is left at impact (due to AoA and forward shaft lean), I'd have to open the face to match the D-Plane path (not the target line) for it to start left and curve right in a tiny draw. I'm not a believer in hitting it straight. No such thing as 0 RPM in sidespin on TrackMan (really rare). So I prefer tiny draws.

You could work on the shoulders turning harder to the right for you from delivery through impact to get the club exiting more right instead of so far out to the left.  Hope i got that right since its opposite of a righty =)

Keep tees under your arm pits. This helps to keep the hands on the circle and the club from coming too inside-out. It's also helped me start it straighter too.
