Help! I'm Pulling iron shots

Can anyone help me understand where a "Pull" comes from?? I normally hit a soft draw and lately I've been working on less tension in the hands, forearms, and shoulders and I've developed some very uncharacteristic pulls with my irons. The hit feels solid and tempo seems fine, the ball leaves the club head and goes left of the green. Do you think because of the looser less tension "New" setup that I'm not turning my body all the way to my finish? Thanks in advance for your help!

A pull means the club head is sqaure to the club path (which would mean slightly closed to the intended path) and is from and out to in path. the ball ends up traveling a strait angle left of the intented flight path.

If you hit a true draw, that means that you had an in to out swing path with the club closed to the club path. The ball will start out to the right, and then start to draw left, it is combination of a push hook, referred to as a draw.

basically you have gone from and in to out path to and out to in path but still kept your club face closed at impact. Now some people it is as simple as there stance, they could be swinging the exact same way as before, but because of and opened stance or body postioning. Having an open stance but hitting a true sqaure to square club path with a sqaure clubface at impact will make what can appear to you as a pull, being that it goes left of what you thought was your target when in fact it was a perfectly strait shot.


so basically a true pull comes from an out to in path, but hopefully you were just hitting what you thought was a pull but just turned out to be an opened stance.

have a friend stand behind you when you hit and right before you hit it tell him where you think you are aiming, and he can tell you where you actaully are aiming, if you are aiming much more left than you think, that is why you are appearing to hit a pull, tho you are actaully just hitting a badly aimed strait shot.

If stance is not your problem, then where does and out to in path come from, that is a whole nother can of worms.
