Set up??
 

I have been hitting for a while again and I noticed on the range and on the course latley I have been hitting very straight to a small fade. However, I am also tending to push the ball if I do not get the ball up in my stance enough, but if I go to far I start topping.

So withmy driver especially I started to open up my stance and keep the ball forward and presto majic I am hitting the ball very straight to slight fade with no pushes.

So my question is this an "acceptable" stance for a hitter or should I be trying to work something out so I do nto devlop bad habbits?

I tried closing the face down but continued to hit pushes and I hate topping the ball so I can not move the ball to far forward.

Thanks again

Seems to me that your stance has evolved in order to accommodate your (open) club face orientation.

Open stance and open club face will get you a left to right (fading to straight) ball flight. Nothing wrong with that if it works for you.

However, if you are dissatisfied with the results and how you achieved them then look to fixing your club face at impact before you mess with your stance, ball position etc to compensate.

I agree
 

I agree with Burner.

Take your grip at Impact Fix, if you're not using an Impact Address, and check the Clubface.

Something that I find in those that are trying to Hit is mistaking Vertical Hinging for Angled Hinging. Steering isn't good for Hitting or Swinging.

Are you able to check yourself on video to confirm your thoughts?
