Pulls are caused by an out to in swing path with a clubface that is closed to the target, but square to the path of the out to in swing. As for the fix, hard to tell without seeing your swing.

This makes a lot of sense...there is also one small thing you can check that I experienced with my irons. I know you were saying pull, but if you saw a hook that followed, check to see that your face is square and not closed due to offset in your irons. As I improved, I noticed I began to hook all my irons. Now, the face looks open at address, but I hit them straighter.

This is a problem that will never be resolved totally. This is a common miss for the pros and they practice golf for a living while I have to sit at a desk. I think the sequence is everything and this can not be accomplished without good tempo and lots of practice.

I'm working on really really increasing the amount of my hip movement forward through my swing (see my lesson dilemma thread), and I'm noticing a few things:

Good job! I like these definitions very much and agree they classify as "common sense" for golf. One more thing I would like to add is that the proper grip, alignment, posture and backswing are keys to being able to get to number 3 as defined on a consistent basis. I find that when I am doing #2 above that I am setting up with my weight (at address) toward my left side and that leaves my head forward so as I fire my hips I am out in front of it thereby hitting a push...and if I really drop the club inside the dreaded shank!!!

I was having a terrible time pulling the ball lately and this was my cause. To say it in another way your shoulders are turning first and outracing the hips putting you in a position where an over the top move is almost a certainty. You are set up to most likely yank the ball to the left. The hips must lead the shoulder turn to have a proper swing sequence.

This is my problem precisely...solving it (for me) requires good, smooth tempo...
