Looking for some advice...

I have been practicing at the range with a bladed 6 iron, trying to learn how to hit the ball better while making my swing consistent. I've actually made some great progress but I find that about 1/7-8 shots I get this awful push plus.

It doesn't go right (I'm right handed) it squirrels right. No slice to it. It feels awful coming off the club. It's 1/7-8 shots but it is strange. Is this a "consistent" shank. Other than this, most of my balls go where I want (if I hit the sweet spot they go further than if I do not) but... I find this odd. When I bring out my other GI iron, I get it once in a while but not so much. Any suggestions? Anything appreciated.

hows your ball position? I find if i get the ball too far back, I will have a tendency to push the ball.

usually dead center or slightly forward of center. sometimes, to work on lag, i'll tee it up play the ball behind center to get the compression feel... same 1/7-8 will push+++.

I was thinking that too and next time I go out I'm thinking of a way to get some impact tape on the hosel to see. I just think it strange that hitting off the hosel can give me a consistently awful shot out to the right.

take your club and ground it then put it against the hosel,youll see y it goes right

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
