After playing a  Nine Hole round and shooting 49  ( Not Bad for me) I just wanted some help on learning how to stop hitting low push shots.... ..  I used to hit a  pull hook,  But i  fixed That, i`m still hitting it low with every club Under a 8 iron! Help! Thanks

Push shots or punch shots or push draws? That latter would be higher than a punch shot.

If you are hitting low, you are likely to hit thin. Got pictures or a video?

Make sure that your upper center is not moving forward.

More jumping - more tucking the butt, straightening the legs, extending the thoracic spine.

Not towards the ball, no. Extend the thoracic spine. Tuck the butt. Straighten the legs.

    • Day 6: 2026.01.09 Some swing work in the mirror. Need to work on home setup to be able to get more out of evenings where I can't make it to the range.
    • I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.
    • These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
