Hi Tom, at first thanks for your Programm. As a conventional golfer with permanent slice issues I switched to your stack and tilt system with good success. The slice is nearly gone, the impact is much more reliable but one thing bother’s me. A almost permanent left start 6° to 8° to the left. The ball flight is pretty much straight with a little draw but way to left. I can counter it with a closed stance 8° to the right but that is not what I want. Changing the grip doesn’t work altering the path results in adding inconsistencies. Any ideas? Thx

You still fighting this issue. I worked with other forum members to get rid of this little miss. In my book the pull is the worst miss in golf. There are different ways to handle it depending on your desired shot pattern. It would be really helpful if you could post a video of your swing.
Welcome to this great forum community, @deltas_raben.0f!
It's important to know why the ball is behaving a particular way in order to reverse engineer the cause. The ball is simply responding to the flight plan assigned to it by the clubface at impact. Clubface relative to target line dictates the ball's starting line and face relative to path determines direction and degree of curvature.
It may be beneficial to check out the Slices & Pulls section of Ball Flight Fixes in the online school. However, I would first begin by tweaking ball position, as this is something you can experiment with that does not involve making any adjustments to your swing. This is always the preferred way to begin when trying to correct a ball flight issue. Move the ball back in your stance in small increments with and monitor the results with each change. If this does not resolve the issue then we can dive into the swing itself.
Beyond this, you may wish to give some thought to the V1 Swing Video Analysis – an extremely valuable service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis on this page of the Saguto.Golf site.
