pushing all irons!

I was lucky enough to have my season debut round the other day, and while I played rather well for myself (46 on a par 36) considering I hadn't played in almost 8 months, I was pushing all irons. As a result I had 0% GIR. 

 

Imay be able to get a swing video up later today, but anyone got any initial ideas why? Im thinking maybe my arms are lagging behind my body, i.e. turning too fast. Strongly considering taking a very strong grip to bandaid the problem when I go out again on Tuesday (same course, only winter course I know of in the area). I am not seeing a bad slice, just straight push.

A push means your path and face match up they're just both out to the right.

 

It's unlikely that your body rotation (turning too fast) is causing your path to be to the right - typically that sends someone's path left.

 

Take a slightly stronger grip and motorcycle it during the entire downswing (twist grip counterclockwise).

Thanks will try these tips today. I generally concentrate on a flat wrist when i will take a stronger grip and see how it goes. Maybe i can beat my 0% GIR from the other day....
