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 601 - 2026-05-25 Short-ish day with only some later Skillest lessons, so I stayed after and got some swings in. GEARS Hybrid was set up for a lefty, so… not that. 🙂

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
