I've work very hard to correct a push. I worked 2 summers to get to the point now where I can hit a draw with any club in my bag. If I hit a slice/push, it's because I'm lazy.
When my driving is on, I can almost swing blindfolded. Pick a spot, hit it, pick up the tee. But when i'm off, it's because my hands are slow. Not rolling over as much, but more that the clubhead is ahead of my hands when the face meets the ball. And I know it instantly.
My cure for this is to intentionally hit a fade. I come accross the ball and hit a low cut. Then, I know how far off I am and meet inbetween.
I use a really stiff shaft, so I don't have much "NV" lag.  I like to feel the entire club through the swing. I hate - HATE - losing the clubhead on the way down, so the rebar shafts appeal to me. But, if you're slow with the hands, you're done.

Interesting. I think I'm going to toy around with this next time at the range - which should be soon - yeah right, I live in North Dakota. Right now I hit a very predictable fade. I must say that it is so predictable that driving has become my strongest point. But I've always wondered what I'm missing out on because I would never consider myself long off the tee. A good drive for me is 285. And I mean really good.
