It could be an issue of standing too close or too far from the ball. Swinging out-in can contribute. If you are able to, a video would help.

Hows your stance? Hands shouldn't be angled towards you or too far towards the ball....almost dropping straight down

I had a similar issue when I started playing a few years ago.  It wasn't my only problem, but it was noticeable.

The body will try to square up the club face and center it on the ball.  I find that in all parts of the golf swing that if I start on one side, I'll finish on the other.  E.g. start on an out-to-in swing path, finish on an in-to-out swing path.  I always tried to line the heel of the club up with the ball to try and fix toeing it.  A friend essentially hit me upside the head and said I was setting myself up for failure.  I moved the set up to the toe just to jar myself a bit and have now landed on lining a bit toe-side of center and it works great.

I'm just a hack, so take it with a grain of salt.

P.S.  One thing I like to do when I can't seem to get out of a rut is golf in ridiculous ways.  Like drop my back leg about 3 feet.  Try to swing standing on one leg.  Swing with one arm.  Swing with my eyes closed.  I find the more your brain is involved, the worse you play.

thanks for all the input guys! But @kieran123 you were right, i looked at a vid i took at the range last time, it almost seems as if im lifting my hands when im setting up, il try letting my arms drop straight at the range next time!

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
