I have really had a big problem this year hitting a push.
I have written about this before and thought it was a clubface issue and after ruling that out thought i was swinging too far right.Well i've kind of ruled that out too.This happens with all the clubs but magnifies with the longer clubs that go short and right.
Now getting close to desperation, i'm thinking that my lower body is overactive.
Any ideas or insight as i'm really at my wits end.

How are you sure that you have not ruled it out...??
If you are a Pure Swinger, i.e. one who lets centrifugal force square the club, you could hit pushes if the ball is too far back in the stance, especially with the driver. This kind of swinger has to find the exact ball position, usually near low point, to produce a straight away ball flight.
If not a Pure Swinger, it could be a grip that is too weak, or poor hinge action.
So tell us more about the ball flight? Is it a straight push? Does it curve either way? High or Low? When you hit the "push" shot are you hitting it solid?
I've got a great looking set-up and backswing that you have seen.Flat left wrist at the top but something bad happens on the downswing.
If your hips slide towards the target would this change the path of your swing?
I have better luck when i play from an open stance but as soon as i get square the ball starts going right.
A little hip bunt forwards to start the down swing is commendable but if you have a tendency to overdo it or slide the entire upper body forwards then you have, effectively, put the ball back in your stance.
Moving the ball forwards in your stance at address or restricting your forward body movement on the down swing should solve your problem.

Are you SURE you are tracing a straight plane line?
I have had similar issues ,my causes were
1.Re -gripping with the left hand somewhere between the top and impact -I had it so tight I couldn't horizontal hinge.
2.I WAS OFF PLANE -OR AT LEAST BENDING THE PLANE -on the way down,focusing on a good finish /follow through-ON PLANE was the cure.
I would also suggest you might not be hingeing properly-and 2 above could be the cause hitting balls with a driver -feet close together, may reveal this.
keep at it,I have shared your desperation ,thing is, sometimes the answer is as simple as reading a book -and looking at pictures!
Good Luck!

I believe so. Need "Pivot lag" and stop "Snapping" it.
