Pulling my driver hard left

I know this site is not the best place to find good advice, but what the heck!
I’m pulling my driver about 30 degrees to the left. I’m not doing the same with irons…only driver. Any words of wisdom that might help?

Move the ball 1/4" back in your stance. keep moving til you can live with pull/draw.

Sounds like an out to in swing path with a closed face. If you used to slice the ball(out to in path with neutral or open face) you need to figure out why you have changed your face angle. If not, maybe try opening up your stance, and finding that open face again.

Keep your right elbow tucked in on your downward swing. It will stop that with a quickness. But you have to finish your swing or else you’ll start pushing it to the right.

All the good advice is taken - maybe try bowling if none of it helps

Pull left is my miss too.
My issue is being “out of sync.” I’m not flexible anymore. My hips and shoulders are not jiving. Shoulders turning faster than the hips bringing the clubhead more out to in and creating a pull.
With driver, I’d guess you are just like the rest of us, and tend to swing too fast which makes it more challenging to stay in rhythm.
My trick to stay in rhythm, is a tempo queue. Say ERNIE ELS.
ERNIE on the back swing. ELS down to contact. (3-1 tempo)
Just what works for me. Sometimes. :)

I agree with you Lefty. Pro told me that my grip was too strong and I was leading too much with my trail arm. I then started loosing my grip and I was slicing. I have now found a happy medium.

All good advice....Also may be hanging back too much w the Driver. Easy to do when overswinging or trying to help it launch. Get weight to your left side on downswing.

With my driver setup I also have to be very mindful of keeping my lead shoulder closed to the target at setup. Again without seeing your swing these are all just guesses as to what the main issues might be

OP I sometimes start doing that and I found out the reason I did it(which is very common) is having your front shoulder way to far left due to the ball being in front. You have to remember to push that back shoulder back at adress to get everything back in line
I would never do it on irons since the ball is in the middle of stance. See below visual

agree with this advice, but probably more like two balls back. 1/4" isn't going to make much difference.
