Ok, I really want to get rid of these pushes with the PW and Wedges. My iron play is getting much much better since I stopped over-rotating the clubface and worked on not popping out on the backswing. Combine that with a much better backswing pivot, and my swing is really coming along.

It really really sucks however to miss greens to the right when hitting the short irons, PW, and full distance wedges.

Example, yesterday on a par 4, 3 iron off the tee put me at 128 yards to the pin. Perfect PW distance for me. Pushed it right about 15 yards and ended up short.

I'm guessing the answer here is "swing more left". Question though... when I try swinging more left with the PW, I tend to chunk it.

Ideas?

I'm really going to try to get a swing video up soon.

1) Have you been checked for lie angle with your scoring irons? Crucial and should be where you start.

2) If lie angle is ok, then most likely you are swinging too right with a clubface matching. However swinging more left isn't easy to just do. Maybe you are over leaning to the right with your shorter irons causing you a more in/out path. Hard to say really without seeing you in person

Jim, would a slightly open stance help here?

Are they really pushes? The fact that they are right AND short makes me wonder.
