Shank problem

[YamahaJay]

I am shanking the ball very hard lately but I am almost positive the ball is not hitting the housel. I think I am blading it and its a half shank and half wicked slice. The ball goes 45 degrees right and has a slice to boot. I did notice that when I line up to the ball the toe of the club is off the ground and I would have to stand unconfortably close to the ball to get it to lie flat. I suspect this is a root of the problem because I rarely can hit a mid or long iron without chunking or blading it which causes the shank. I am 6 foot tall and am using off the shelf irons (adams insight). I was fooling around with a really old set of irons that have a flatter lie and didn't have the shank problem,but only hit about 8 balls into the woods so i'm not convinced yet. Sorry for the long explination but figured a good golfer might have a suggestion. Any thoughts?

I'm not a good golfer but I have a suggestion. Make sure the face of the club is on plane during the takeaway, and don't flip your wrists. But hard to tell without a video. From what you describe, the club face is wide open, you are coming slightly over the top, making you hit across the ball. But remember, without video, these are just my guesses.
