Surely your face angles would have to be rather extreme for the ball to actually start left when you are swinging right (in to out).

Either you've put down the wrong handicap (12) or the distances you've mentioned are what the pro told you you could be hitting with each of these clubs. I'm guessing you don't achieve these distances consistently. I'm a low handicapper but I can't match these numbers.

Its all about the swing. If you ve got that down you can hit it with a bent branch.

I would suggest that you adopt a reverse overlap grip for the full swing where the right hand is considerably more dominant. Look at the following images...

Gutern Tag, Ich habes onemal ein Golffeld in BW spielte. It called Bad Waldsee und ich findet sie ein sehr gutern feld zu spielten. OK enough german, exhausted, I think the course was called Oberschwaben and I don't think I have played a better member course, anywhere. The greenfee was 45 Euro for 18 holes and lunch cost 25 Euro with a couple of beers. No too expensive in my opinion.

Inclined plane. As long as the golfer understands that the club is being swung on an inclined plane and that she should be swinging away from the body thru impact then square alignment will work just fine.

A friend recently asked me which professional would be an ideal model to copy for the golf swing. After much thought, I got back to him and suggested Charl Schwartzel. But why? Easy really. CS has obviously adopted all of the swing qualities that would benefit golfers of every level... 1) Fantastic fundamentals (grip, stance, posture, Lucky Luke 2, shoulder restriction and shaft lean) 2) Brilliant back swing position (shoulder turn, spine angle, wrist/shaft/face angles and tilted lean) 3) Excellent impact conditions (shaft lean, shoulder restriction and Lucky Luke 2) 4) Longevity. This swing is going to stand the test of time and most golfers will be able to swing like this into old age. There are of course other models out there but CS stands out for me.
