I can’t stop pushing / push fading my driver

I’m having trouble pushing / push fading all of my clubs. Everything wants to go 10-20 degrees to the right. I’m using alignment rods, so I think I’m aimed correctly.

Today however I was able to create a slight draw with my 6 iron using the Ball Flight Fixes / Slices (and Pulls) / Fixing Your Slice Downswing - Swing Under The Stick and Coral Drill.

I was not however able to fix my driver using the same drill. I still hit everything to the right. There has to be something different about the driver setup and/or swing that I need to address.

Has anyone else to experienced this and what did you do to fix it?

Thanks.

@galloway8625 - You nailed my best suggestion, which is to video your swing from both angles to look for clues. If you’re still stumped then feel free to post the videos in the Forum’s Video Analysis Room or submit a V1 for my review.

Remember - club face relative to target line at impact will determine the ball’s starting direction, and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature.

Sounds good, Mike. A face that is open to the target line and square to the path will produce a straight push. If it is also open to the path it will provide a push-fade/slice flight assignment.

By the way, have you considered tweaking your ball position? It is something you can experiment with that does not involve making any adjustments to your swing. This is always the preferred way to begin when trying to correct a ball flight issue. Move the ball forward in your stance in small increments with the clubs that you're pushing the ball with and monitor the results with each change. If this does not resolve the issue then we can dive into the swing itself, but if you are currently striking the ball well then you may just be a few clicks of ball position away from a nice push-draw..
