I too have problems pulling to the left from time to time. Ed, I agree that the proper setup, with shoulders parallel to the target line is important, but it isn't necessarily the cure. What video tape, as well as others who watch me, tell me is that although I may set up with shoulders parallel, on my down swing I slightly rotate the right shoulder (I am right handed) around my spine axis, which can result in a dead pull, a pull slice or a slice which starts on the target path and then moves right. This rotation can occur even when there is little lower body rotation. So, when doing this, I can feel as if I am keeping my head over my right knee with my right foot planted and still pull. It is frustating and has been the main thing I continually fight since changing to SA golf 2-1/2 years ago.

Regards,

Steve
