Hi guys new here i apologize in advance if this was already covered . Im having trouble with pushing my longer irons and sometime driver. 6 iron to driver . Wedges and short irons are fine . Everytime i pick up a six iron i push it i cant figure it out . Any suggestions on a cause and fix thanks for the help

If it is due to a steep swing he probably experiences a lot of tops and chunks also.

I am under the impression a push results from an in-to-out swing and a square clubface (relative to the swing line, not the target).

If what I believe is correct, it seems like you should focus on swinging more out-to-in (but not excessively so).

Try taking three practice swings. In the first, swing normally, in to out. Then have a swing that intentionally goes out to in, the typical slice swing. Then on your final swing, split the difference. Hope that helps at all.

haha this is funny...

only because i went through this same problem last month.  for me, i was definitely coming in to out.  BUT a lot of times i felt like i was trying to swing very hard at the ball and held on a little too much and didn't rotate my hips enough.  so i went to the range and tried to pull the ball by making my hands swing more "left" after impact.

once i got that feeling grooved, i just concentrated on keeping my head behind the ball and making a similar swing.  don't know if it'll work for you but it straightened me out.

*hope that makes sense, im not very good at verbalizing swing thoughts*

I've had this problem with anything longer than an 8i.   After messing around for some time, I discovered that widening my stance (moving my back foot a tad bit further back)  brought the shots back in line.   You might try that.

    • Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  
    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.

    • Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry
