Pushing right with mid irons

[TomBomb]

I recently started pushing my mid irons and hybrids right. I could lose several balls a round, sometimes several on one hole. I eventually found a fix - placing the ball further forward in my stance, about where some people might place it for driver. I'm getting by with this, but I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong. It seems to me when the ball is further forward I tend to make my whole swing with my weight on my left foot - not sure if that anything to do with it. Thanks in advance.

I started doing this a month ago also, with the same clubs as you (6,5, and hybrids). I was striking the ball really well this year up until this little problem crept up. I think the root cause (at least for me) is 1. rushing the backswing, 2., truncating the backswing, and 3. not getting my weight to the left side (getting "stuck" on the rearmost foot).

I'm going to the range today and I plan to work on it.

Thanks for your input.

I might have the same problem as you. Keep me posted on your findings from the range.

I played this evening and lost 2 balls on one hole because of it. Even placing the ball forward in my stance made little difference.

At one point I thought it might be something to do with keeping my hands and club in front (out from) my body, but I don't know. Might be time for another lesson...

Bit late replying to this, but in case anyone stumbles across this in the future, the reason I was pushing my irons right, and also topping, was because my head was moving forward (left - I'm right handed) through impact. It took my teacher about 3 seconds to diagnose. While I was pushing my shoulder forward, my head was following. The cure is to look at the ball through my left eye, so my head stays back. As a bonus, when I keep my head back, but push my shoulder through, I release my hands better and get more club head speed.
