Will closing the club head at address assist with a slice or a push? I know this is a band aid to fix a swing fault. Quite frankly though, I need a band aid to keep this activity fun as playing a long par 4 or a par 5 hitting off the tee with a 5 iron is breaking my will to keep hacking (okay, a little melodramatic there ).
I had a huge banana slice that went further to the right than it did straight. I managed to smooth that out by reducing over the top motion. Mostly I achieved good results by slowing down the back swing, not taking the club back as far (more of a 1/2 - 3/4 swing), using less force (thinking swing), and adjusting the back swing plane to not be so steep (causing over the top).
All that stuff worked great. I no longer have a slice. Now I have a massive push to the right that goes into the woods or next fairway. This is only the case with the driver, woods, and occasionally but not always on my 3 hybrid. I played around with a "slightly" closed club face on my 3 wood today and hit a massive drive but still pushed it.... but not nearly as bad as I usually do. Would closing the club head 5*+ help solve a pushing issue? What other swing adjustments could I do to ensure my club head is square at impact?
