Ok guys and gals, here is the story, I have the TM R7425 and I love this club! The only problem at the moment is that on the last few rounds I've played I seem to be pushing the ball right, its not a fade, just a push out to the right.

What an earth I am doing that could be causing this. I was thinking that I may be playing the ball a little bit too far forward and as a result the ball is heading straight out to the right, if I was to move the ball back in my stance would this eliminate the problem?

So swing gurus, please help!

From my experience, playing the ball forward in your stance is more likely to increase your trajectory, but little else. When you take your swing back, put emphasis on up, rather than back. (You might want to take this with a grain of salt, since I pushed my drives all day, and then killed it down the middle on the 18th tee after making that change). I'm about to go hit 18, so I'll see if this works consistently.

Is it a push as in you blocked it or as in your hands were a bit late?

Usually when I block it out to the right it is when I am trying to draw it and I get stuck and the ball instead of coming back to the left it just stays out there to the right.

When I push it right it's usually a resault of me swinging too hard and I am a bit out of squence.

Try this, stand a little further away from the ball and raise your hands a bit hight, not to the point where you are reaching but maybe a half an inch or so higher.

Shouldn't this be in the swing tip section and not the equipement section?

Close your stance just a tad. See if that helps. This happens to me regularly. I hit 13 fairways the other day...was on fire. Yesterday Im pushing the ball and at times a little slice. Close your stance a bit and slow your swing down. As mentioned above...I think your hands may be a little late.

Yeah it should be in the swing section, sorry about that. Can someone move it there for me?

Sometimes when I push it it is because I slide my hips towards the target instead of turning them. If you are doing this, hit balls on the range with your feet together. This will slow down your hips and speed your arms up,

i find when i push it right i havent rotated my hands towards the target enough and therefore leave my clubface wide open and still throw my hands towards the target causing the push.
