Any good drills to help combat the push fade? I do this about 80% of the time with all clubs with the exception of wedges and putter.

I had the same problem. One player saw that I was bringing the club back too far to the inside.

I focused on taking the club back so it felt like it was outside the target line and trying to hit a cut.

My shots straightened out. I hope this helps.

2 things you can do to help with that. I use these to play a fade or draw when I need it. You can turn your grip a bit, by rotating your top hand backwards toward your back shoulder, giving you a stronger grip. Your bottom hand will find it's place by itself to accommodate the change in your top hand. The other thing I like to make a draw, is drop your back foot 3 or 4 inches backwards. That'll take a fade away from anybody and the further you put it back, you'll probably be able to draw it after a while.
