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.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
