I set up with the club pointing at the target and aiming my body to the right but when hitting on my body line the ball goes straight??
Has anyone had this trouble before ??

the ball goes straight
Regardless of old or new ball flight laws, to get a draw the face must be pointing to the left (RH golfer) of the swing path at impact.
If the ball is flying straight then the swing path and club face are aligned together.
If the ball is going on the line of your feet then you have unknowingly opened the face during your swing.
If the ball is going straight to your target then you are swinging out to in relative to your feet line.
Bloody hell Gaz you should be a pro
Nah, the pros don't know the ball flight laws

Or...
I was just thinking I had some understanding of this, is your illustration not showing a fade? the swing path seems out to in?
It is. It's just a bit simpler than reading pages of scientific data
It's quite odd the way there are so many clips on YouTube and the like of the famous touring pro's explaining it wrongly. Obviously since they can hit the shots they want to they must be doing it right.
I assume the likes of Donald, Faldo, Rose etc wouldn't have taken the PGA exams that teaching pro's do,
so teaching pro's will be able to explain the right way.
Still baffles me this that Pro's like Donald,Rose explain how to play a type of shot and then step up to the ball and execute it in a totally different manner. There is a video where Rose aims his club at the target in this case the flag then aims his shoulders,feet,hips to the right of the flag giving a closed stance he then swings along his feet,hip line and the ball start off to the right of the flag and draws into it landing a few feet away.Surely this under new laws should have started directly at the target and landed left of taget upon landing.
