Keeeping the club face square? Probably worded that wrong, I am have a problem with hitting pushes and or little slices.

Yes, its a tendency of Angled Hinging. Try closing the face a little when gripping the club at Impact Fix. So hands stay the same but the face rotates a tad in the hands. It prevents the side slippage or rolling off the face and allows the point of contact between ball and clubface to stay intact throughout the Impact Interval....... like it does during Horizontal Hinging. Its a hard thing to adopt sometimes especially if your a former drawer of the ball but think of it as a necessary step along the way.

Some guys new to Angled who are still operating under the old ball flight rules start to see those little fades and pushes and try to make a clubhead path correction by pulling it to the left...............disaster resulting. Remember initial direction is clubFACE. Fix the Face by closing it a tad. Worse still is a flip to close the face during impact. Worse still is a pull and flip, ouch. Keep swinging out and down, "out to right field" along the Angle of Approach and deal with the face at Fix........Im assuming your Hinge Action is not the problem that its Angled and not slipping into Vertical or something. Doesnt sound like it. That would be low compression , lob shots.
