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 140: did a stack session.
    • Day 1: After a long practice layoff due to injury, vacation, winter darkness, and work stuff, I'm trying to start back up again. Today I just hit balls with keys from my lesson 6-ish weeks ago; neutral grip and centered turn. Gonna work with that for a few weeks, see how it goes, and then get a lesson scheduled.
    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.
