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,

    • It's not meaningful, because driving = playing golf. When practicing "turns," that isn't what block practice is, and that's just one aspect of practicing driving. Block practice of turns would be practicing the same turn repeatedly in the same way. We'll talk sometime, Vishal, because I'm not sure I'm reading you right or vice versa. Block vs. Random practice "studies" are cited all the time, but it turns out that block practice isn't what many actually think it is, per Dr. Raymond Prior himself. I think it's a much narrower thing than what many people think it is.
    • In my original post, the 'same thing' in relation to block practice of = 'how to handle the steering' not 'exact same turn 100 times'. There's a meaningful difference. Hope that clears the confusion. In any case I made a larger point in favor of block practice, ya know, repetition of a specific piece if done mindfully as a good thing, which I think is very much on topic. Matt's post ask a good question about learning a new motor pattern. Like how would you randomize 'make sure the club head goes outside the hands in the bs'? I would think it is literally the same move a 100 times = block practice right? 
    • Day 437 - 2025-12-11 Got some backswing work done on GEARS today after testing out a few things. Backswing looking pretty good, generally speaking. I can… Hinge a little earlier. Stay right a little longer. Keep a little trail knee flex. I'll continue with that the rest of December, then re-assess. It may go to the middle of January or so, before I can do the downswing stuff again.
    • That post confused me. It's kinda been the whole topic here. Literally doing the same exact thing over and over again = block practice.
    • Day 31 (11 Dec 25) - Regripped my #1 putter and spent some time rolling the rock.  Worked on lagging the ball to set distances (ladder drill) and overall tempo.
