So normally I am a fairly good iron player. They don't always go as straight as I would like but they are generally close to the target and the distance is correct. Recently however, I have started hitting weak slices with any iron above a 7. My divots all point to the left of my foot plane, so I know I am doing an inside-out swing, but I didn't know that that is possible with irons. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and how they fixed it.
In the blue and tan grom Bag:

Driver r7 460 10.5*
Fairway Woods '07 Burner 15* and 18*
Irons 4-PW r7 XDWedges 47*, 52*, 58* CG14,Putter TiffanyBall One Tour D

You say your divots are pointing to the left of your foot line, but your swing is inside out? If the swing was inside out the divot would point to the right of your foot line.
Or are you left handed?

...the world is full of people happy to tell you that your dreams are unrealistic, that you don't have the talent to realize them. - Bob Rotella

Driver - Taylormade R1.
Fairway - Taylormade R9 15º.
Hybrid - A3OS 3 Hybrid.

Irons - Cast CCI 4-AW.

Wedge - SV Tour 56º wedge.


I have been suffering from that problem for a while. A friend of mine gave me a quick few pointers that has worked pretty well but I know it's not that formal solution but it has worked for me
What you want to do:
line up like you are about to tee off or hit the ball then bring your back foot (for me its my right) back about half a foot's length.

It will be awkward for a little bit but you will get used to it.
However, it does not work all the time but it has worked about 80% of the time for me.

    • Day 35 (26 Feb 25) - Day of easy work (hanging around the house as son had shoulder surgery and I needed to help keep an eye on him).  Worked on low spinner 50deg wedges - keeping the ball low flighted and checking quick.  Went with the 8i after to do low flighted runners.  Great visit on two ways to get the same/similar results.  May be able to get away tomorrow for a short 9hole round (as long as the son's recovery cooperates).....
    • Day 1: 2/26/2025: So, I'm starting over on this again.  My son brought home the mother of all flu bugs from school. It raged though our house and knocked me on my butt for about 3 days.  Now, that I think I'm clear of the death plague my son gave me. I was able to rise early this morning and get some nice mirror work in. I felt stiff like a board for the first few swings, but loosened up and was able to get at least 20 minutes of first robotic slow swings and then gradually more fluid swings.  My focus was on the timing and fluidity of my priority pieces. 
    • I use a MagSafe connector on my tripod. Occasionally I use those clips.
    • Working on some swing videos. What are you guys having the best luck with as far as devices used to record the swing?  I have a tripod with a magnet that I stick my phone on but it is somewhat of a pain because I have to remove the cover on my phone and when I pull it off the magnet the tripod head changes and moves position. I was thinking something more like an ipad maybe. On a different style tripod and maybe even set it up to mirror to a tv.
