What are you struggling with and how are you fixing it?

Thought maybe we could start a dialogue and learn from each others' faults
Been pushing shots out right and was compensating by hitting big draws or opening my stance.
Working on getting backswing more vertical and Starting back with my upper body instead of hips
Hope this can help somebody.

I usually fade / slice the ball off the tee. Just recently I've started hitting low hooks. It has me very concerned with my driver.

Yips with chipping. The only thing that fixes it is alcohol.

Most of the time chipping yips is just a lack of continuing to turn your body through the shot and not letting your hands outrace your body turn.

I'm a visual guy. I had begun to push a lot of my iron shots, so I setup the iPad for video and hit a few shots with a 6 iron. Saw my swing flaw and now I know exactly what I was doing (similar to what you're doing working on getting more vertical).
In general, if I'm not feeling comfortable over the ball, I try to visualize Adam Scott's swing. My swing (or anyone's IMO) is no where near as picturesque as his, but if I can visualize what it should look like in my head, I can do my best to recreate that tempo IRL.
With the driver, I have to constantly remind myself to stand tall and not get too quick causing a monster hook.

It's way beyond that. It's in the dome. I actually don't play golf without drinking. Hell, I don't even practice without drinking. I have 2-4 beers before I tee off, no exceptions.

problems with early extension and keeping the same spine angle throughout the swing.... i have found that if i think about keeping the club face outside of my hands on take away and keep my hands closer to my body on downswing helps tremendously. also tempo.... hitting balls with my feet together works well as a drill

pushing shots out right
This is my miss. A couple of thoughts:
Your clubhead might be too upright at impact, it can cause a push. Sink your hands at address.
Be sure you're not losing your swing at impact. I have a tendency to let my left elbow get away from my body, keeping the club from getting square.

Even if I'm hitting it well, at some point in the round I'll start having trouble staying behind the ball and get too steep on the downswing. I have to really concentrate on my set up and my stopping point on my backswing and not 'over swing'. If I can do that all the time (which is rare) I'll avoid that blow up hole or three.

Coming to far in and not getting through it can cause a push.
ETA: For me, coming back to flat can cause me to "leave" my hands behind at impact. Coming back "more vertical" frees my hands up just enough to get through it. Keeping left elbow straighter and shortening the backswing also helps.

also known as deceleration... accelerating thru the shot while swinging AROUND your body is key

Slowing down/shortening my takeaway.
Posted on 6/7/17 at 3:16 pm to Masterag
Short game. I've done a lot of swing work and it's paid off tee to green. But what's holding me back is inside of 80 and that's where I'm going to be focused the rest of the summer.
Putting speed and chips off an uphill lie will be specific focuses.

I guess it depends on exactly how far in you're coming on your backswing. I just feel like getting too vertical opens up even more problems.

Slicing off the tee.
Aim further left.

Make sure your head is staying behind the ball at Impact. Sounds like you might be drifting forward

I suppose I worded it to the effect of the OP's issue. I guess "on plane" would have been a better way to put it. To get to that point, I had to get "more vertical" if that makes sense.

My own personal philosophy is that the upper body works as a pendulum. As such, I don't worry about what the club is doing, only my arms. My arms were coming too far inside and a little flat. So now I'm just trying to feel like I lift them straight up as I turn back. Then let them drop as I pivot forward.

Only if you're lifting the hands without turning the body and/or you start the downswing with the upper body. The more vertical the less I have to reroute the club.
