Pulling the golf ball is very often a case of turning the wrist over at the moment of impact. This is the result of over pronating (meaning turning the wrist too much) in leaving the ball on the back swing.
The result of over pronating on the back swing is that you must also turn the wrist too much in the down swing in order to meet the ball squarely—and when you do this it is impossible to check the turning of the wrist at the moment you hit the ball.
The consequence is that the wrist continues to turn over and either you pull badly or else you smother (or top) the ball.
If you find you are pulling, take a few very slow swings—see that the back movement and the turning of so the wrists and forearms start at exactly the same moment, and that you are not over-pronating, and see also that you are not gripping too tightly with the right hand, as this is a frequent cause of pulling.
