I was hitting the ball pretty well as of late....until last weekend. I started pulling the ball on every club. I just thought it was that day, but I went to the range today and the same thing was happening. I tried some different things and some would pull and others would fade, sometimes a nasty slice. Can anyone help? What type of drills can help

Pulls and slices?
Sounds like over the top swing plane to me. But I'm no judge, particularly without seeing your swing.

So maybe try and feel the club coming from the inside as you near impact.
Edit: Take this with a grain of salt, please...

The Slice and the pull come from the same thing here, it sounds like. Your swing plane ass changed...you're swiping at the ball and the path comes from further to towards you on the swing. Swiping at the ball also imparts the spin that creates a slice.

There are so many things which could cause this, a video would be your best bet if you seek help online. It could be as simple as your setup aim being askew, or it could have something else to do with setup or grip. For sure, a pull means you are swinging outside your intended target line and coming back across the ball. Be sure to check your aim as a first step; setup as you do and lay the club down on your toe line then check to see where it is aiming. Then check your shoulders to make sure they are square as well. Beyond that, there is no way to tell without seeing.

I play a pull on all my iron and wedge shots. I just aim about 10-15 yards to the right and fire away. Obviously this is not what you want to do. But just for example, I bring the club back way flat with a strong grip and closed face, get in a laid off position, have to come over the top a bit and finish left and around. I say this because having the same problem on all my shots except the woods and hybrids, you may be doing some of the same things I do. Good luck.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      My Swing (billchao)

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
