Usually for a right hander pushing the ball towards the center (slightly to the left of the intended target line) would help feed the ball to the right, better for inside lines. By cause and effect it will will help loop the ball back to the inside like a figure 8. For playing out side a straight push away or one slight to the right of target line would do the same figure 8 but in reverse. Just don''''t over as it''''s easy to get the ball behind you too much and could generate more inconsistency. It''s something you can experiment with for sure. You might want to use a video camera from behind to monitor how much your swing is be effected by your pushaway direction. Bill Hall teaches the pushaway "box" that Danny Wiseman and Norm Duke use where you change your swing shape and direction by pushing the ball into one of 9 different zones depending on what your trying to accomplish. It''s high level stuff for sure but the technique is out there to be learned if you want to spend the time on it.
