The difference between a pull and a slice is the face angle of the club at impact. In both cases the swing path (the arc the club travels is the same), but with a cut the face is open and with a pull its closed.

That said:

It's happening for two reasons:

1) You're throwing your right shoulder at the ball, which ****s up your swing plane.

2) Your clubface is open.

Focus on two things:

1) Strengthen your grip. The V formed by your thumb and forefinger should point at your right shoulder as you address the ball

2) Feel like you are holding your right shoulder back as you begin the downswing. If you can do this without losing your spine angle you'll put the club in the slot and hit it from the inside. If you have the same grip that used to cause a pull, it will now be a draw.

The one thing I do have is a fantastic grip. That has been perfected over the years by two family members who make me have 50001023402 swing thoughts before I swing the club which has probably done way more god damn damage than good.

as for 2)

Man, I'll certainly try. I love golf. I just hate sucking at it. It infuriates me because my whole life I've watched people be good at it.

I'm going to have to try some things at the range this year...
