My current handicap index or average score is: 10.7
My typical ball flight is: Draw
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Push fades and pulls

I've always had a very hard time hitting my preferred shot (push draw) and I constantly struggle with weak fades, pulls, fats, thins, and the occasional s&*!k.  I know I'm too far inside going back, but taking my hands and the club head on a more outside/vertical path back and up only exacerbates by push/fade.  HELP!

Hi @AshMan1978 , welcome to TST.  Good luck with the swing thread. Some of the "heavy hitters" are busy with a tournament called the Newport Cup this week, so you might not get too many replies right away.

Do you have an instructor? Is there something you are working on at the moment specifically or are you looking for a good starting point? There's lots of good stuff here in case you haven't seen it: 

 

But post a few times with your progress and elsewhere on the site and eventually, people show up to chime in to offer thoughts. See you around!

Hey Randy,

Thanks for the info.  I don't currently have an instructor (though I've had numerous instructors in the past).  I'd really just like to get some fresh eyes on my swing and get some solid advice on what I should be working on.

Thanks!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
