If you find that your miss is a push shot and/or you have a tendency of pushing shots, would a club with a bit more offset be right for you?

I can't answer that, but I would like to know about offsets as well. If you are playing GI irons with a lot of offset (Taylormade RAC OS) and you improve your swing, stop coming over the top etc. Will it cause you to hit shots left? And would it then be advantageous to move to clubs with less offset?

Not trying to jack your thread, just consolidating instead of starting a new one.

Too much offset, at least, I've found has caused a miss left, a hook for the right handed golfer.

It's there to try and fix your average hacker's slice.

I'm at a point where I think it could be hampering my progress.

Yeah. I had the Rac OS2 and as a drawer of the ball, it was turning my draw into a hook and I couldn't even control my irons, especially my scoring irons 8-PW...So, that's when my iron play really improved was when I went to the Mizuno MP-57's.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
