Alright this has never happened to me before, why is this happening?

Off the tee I have always came just a little bit over the top so Ive always had a little cut. The cut started on the right side of the fairway and came back to the middle and was controllable by opening and closing the right toe. (Im left handed). Few days ago on the range I decided it was time to work on my draw. I wasent sure of the proper way to play it but I read in a golf digest that you take the club paralell in your back swing with your high hands palm facing right behind you and as you swing your same arm rolls a little closing the clubface producing a draw. I was able to control it off the tee and hit it my normal distance of 250 yards. So everything was going good off the tee. Heres the problem. When I go to hit my cut the ball draws, when I hit my long irons 3,4,5,6,7 which are urually the best part of my game I pull them way off the fairway into the bush. Im pulling everything not drawing. Something is really screwed up. Any idea what has happened here? Whats the proper way to play a cut and a draw with woods and irons. Any help would be fine because ive got 8 rounds in the next 4 days.

A slight cut, huh.

Always keep one thing in mind,

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
