You are coming into impact with too open of a clubface which means you are leading with the hosel. If you don't get it square, guess what, shank.

Try taking the club away more square to the plane and not rolling your hands open. Box drill will not help you fix this permanently.

I have books by Mclean, ledbetter and harmon and none of them address the proper way to cure this problem. Trust me, fix the clubface.
