Manipulating the Clubface by Rotating the Grip changes the Clubheads Hookface amount. The Length of the Club determines the Plane Angle and therefore the Angle of Approach. Hookface is designed to match the Angle of Approach for each Club Length. So, a Wedge has more Hookface than a Driver because the Angle of Approach is reached much sooner as the Plane Angle progressively Steepens. If you move the Ball Aft, then it should also be moved inward.

I don't agree that a Draw Shot is a correction for a Push Shot and moving the Ball Aft may only compound the problem. The problem may be geometry. With your feet too close together, your clubface will be far too Open because Impact will occur before the Right Forearm and Left Arm Wedge can close the Clubface. The solution would be to move the Right Foot Aft so as to allow more time for the Clubface to close the appropriate amount before Impact.

Stance width should be adjusted for each club so that the Angle of Approach, Low-Point and Hookface are all aligned opposite the Hinge Pin at Impact. This requires that the Stance Width be increased for longer Clubs and for Shorter Clubs, as the Stance Narrows, you'll gain a progressively greater amount of Shaft Lean. The greater the Hookface, the greater the Shaft Lean: by definition.
