1 of 2 things:
1) Either path is fine and the face is much too closed
2) Face is ok and path is not right enough
Experiment and figure which is right; how to say without video or TM #'s.

Pulls without trackman are very hard to diagnose.
I suppose if its a straight pull then the path has to be left.

could be some of both, my first guess would be the face

aim opposite direction of pull draw? Imagine if Lee Trevino said, "I've got this awful push-fade I'm trying to get rid of".
If I were as consistent as Lee, I wouldn't be posting on here...
This thread is the result of a session on the range last night - my shots were an equal mix - well, actually biased more toward the miss left - of beautiful straight shots with a touch of draw and shots that started well left and finished further left. I had this problem a long long time ago (maybe 14 years ago) and I solved it at that time by doing the opposite of what seemed instinctive (aiming further right would be the normal thing, instead I thought of Freddie and his power fade and opened my stance a bit - worked great that summer, which remains the only summer I logged a decent number of rounds).
I did experiment a little with different stances and grips, but didn't achieve a clear result before succumbing to the heat and humidity. The one thing that seemed to work best was concentrating on loading the club a bit more at the top, after the transition (downcocking? float loading? can't remember what it's called), which would imply to me it was a face problem as opposed to a path problem, but I'm not that good at diagnosing, on myself or others.

Dear geoplaten,
My experience now with over 150 folks being introduced to better lower body dynamic balance has flooded this site in many of my posts, which unfortunately bothers some folks.
My apologies to them, but regarding your two posts on this thread I would bet the solution to your 'going left', with the associated larger than desired dispersion, is simply BBKIB, and if necessary, add, keeping your back to the target LONGER, during your downswing.
If you have not heard or read about BBKIB, just Google "Bumpy Back vs Diagonal Stance" for starters.
Good luck, and regards,
art

Shouldn't worry about it until it really becomes habitual. Every day is different.

Good advice...
Do it one day, forget about it...
Do it again....have a good look at starting direction and curve to see which of Jim's statements is true
If unable to decide....get on trackman or a set of eyes you trust to hae a look.
Trackman is the obvious one as I had a bout last year and my clubface was far more closed that I thought, and was hitting the heel which was disguising how closed I was. Instant Trackman diagnosis.
