pushing the ball

[Randy R]

I'm right handed, and have started pushing the ball with my irons.

It's not my grip as that has not changed, and I don't think it's my stance either.

I am balanced and not moving my head. I don't get a push on my driver or fairway metal either.

What causes a push?

A push is when the path is going in-out and the face matches the path.

You either need to shift the path left so you can hit a straight ball at the target or get the face closed(to the path) so you can hit a push-draw.

Check your ball position, it might have drifted too far back. Moving the ball up in your stance would decrease the in-out of your swing and may get rid of the pushes.

thanks

I think I might have the ball back in my stance too far

Try limiting your backswing some and see if it makes a difference.  There's a chance you're over-swinging.

Yes, I'll try this too. Thanks.
