I can hit a decent pull draw with a mid iron, but when I try to hit a draw of any kind with my driver off of the tee, it goes about 30 yards, then drops off of the table like a drop ball or knuckle ball in baseball.  I feel as if I'm hitting it solidly, but when I say it falls off of the table, I mean it drops almost straight down.  I have to be putting some kind of a funky spin on the ball.  I would also like to change my draw to a push draw...I start out with an inside to, what I think, is an outside swing, but I must be trying to involuntarily correct my front swing.  Anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong, and how I can correct it to obtain a push draw?  Thanks!!

Welcome to the site. Going from a pull draw to a push draw would probably mean that you have to change your path from across the ball (INward) to OUTward.

I'd recommend starting a swing thread to confirm what piece you need to focus on to change your pattern.

Good thread to check out to help you swing more outward.

    • 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.
