8-cork, I use to draw the ball as well and have starte fading for one reson, and that was number 2 on jim_0068's list.
Brian Manzella would call it a leakage hook. Wrist breaks down slightly and the face closes. It's almost what I would call a false draw. It works ok if timing is perfect, if you're a hair off a snap hook can happen in a heartbeat.
It helps me to think of swinging the forearms not the hands.
If you're a decent player i've come to the conclusion that bent left wrists are a result of a poor downswing pivot, specifically the hips stop rotating. It's a chain reaction, hips stop, pivots stop, arms fly through, hit the ball, clubhead flys past the hands.
Just my humble opinion

I think that is exactly my problem, when my timing is good, I play very well, but I can also hook it off the course at any time. The pro at the course I play told me the other day that I needed to work on my pivot. I have been so preoccupied as a hitter working on my hands I have ignored my pivot. Any ideas on how a hitter can develop a better pivot?

take the club to the top, consciously hip slide, then snap your hips. Don't worry about club/ball contact. Just start training the hips.
Once you get the feeling, do a normal "hit" at half speed. Focussing on turning your hips and getting to a finish.
Once you're on a good "track" take it at full speed

With an uncompensated Hitting Stroke, place the ball forwards to impart slice spin on the ball. This is due to the characteristics of Angled Hinging.
Unlike the Swinger's Pivot, the Hitter's Pivot do not spin or truly rotate. Instead, it acts as a solid block for your right arm to push off with. So minimise any rotary motion.
Either way, the Hitter starts down with a slide parallel to the Delivery Line.
Just so there is no confusion with the lurkers and those who don't post...hitters slide parallel to their delivery line yes, but it is a CROSS-LINE move.
Just wanted to throw that in there.

How can you close the cupface enough to stop the push? I use a cross line and the ball goes straight to the right. I used a closed stance by pulling my right foot back, at the top I use a straight line hands/shoulder to the ball.

Make sure you're using Angled Hinging.
Remember that the whether your stance is open/square/closed doesn't really matter. The most important thing is that your Plane Line is closed, per 10-5-E.
Set up the clubface facing your intended target at Impact Fix, or even a little closed to the intended target for longer clubs. This allows for the 'opening' of the clubface when using Angled Hinging.
