Nathan,
Interesting post - as items 1-4 that you are working on for not pulling the ball - would normally be items one would work on if they were trying not to push the ball. However, after envisioning your four items and how they might stop you from pulling the ball- my guess would be that all of them might tie in well with "standing up" from the top to impact i.e. losing your "waist bend". Just a wild guess on my part. However, if I were right then you've stopped the pulling by creating compensations that counter act the original unsolved issue (whatever that may be). If that were the case then you'd want to do the opposite of items number one through four and then find out what stops the pulls while you are doing those.

Since you don't have video- it's best that you figure out what to work on or what information that might be helpful for you, as it could be one of a million issues or combination of issues. And any particular post to help - could be way off base (including this one!)

Mikey . . . could be a face pull as a result of the standing up . . . standing up will lay the shaft down . . .but also disrupts #3 which will make the face rotate fast . . . could be the face wrapping around the ball.
