Question
i pull the ball one or two boards just about every shot. How can I correct it?

Answer
If you are pulling the ball, you may have answered your question yourself.  That would mean that you are using too much force in your downswing and not letting the ball lead your hand through the bottom of the swing.
Most people do not hit what they are looking at.  They will consistantly hit right or left of what they look at.  They just adjust their line of sight to allow for it.  I know a few really good bowlers that have to look 15 or more boards right of what they actually hit.  You can always just try to move your spot on the lane 2 boards right and see what happens.

Good luck,
