I've been Playing Golf for 15 years, just started back up after a 5 year break. I was a 16 handicap and cannot break 100 now.
My current handicap index or average score is +30.
My typical ball flight is: average
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hit off the toe and pull irons.

Half the time I hit really well straight shots and the other half is a straight pull to the left but always seems to be solid contact. I've noticed the ball marks are always on the toe of the iron. What am I doing wrong in my swing?

The reason you pull the ball is because you go from shallow to steep in transition. This is sending your path over the top. You kinda make up for it by standing up in the downswing.

Your club is outside your hands here, the path is steep and out to in.

I would work on not sending the club inward at A2. Get a swing that is more steep to shallow in transition instead of shallow to steep. This will help you create a swing path that is less out to in and help you stop yanking it left. 

As of right now you are losing your spine tilt forward because you need to create room for that steep angle. It also is a compensation to keep you from hitting fat shots.

    • Day 194: July 4th Putting through 50 mm gates. Tried a few dry swings but elbow pain shut that down.
    • @boogielicious, @WillieT, @StuM - thanks for the kind words.  Felt patriotic getting an eagle on the 4th! Lucky with the start word.
    • Got the Stack in November 2022, but my workouts with it have been sparse. I’ve never completed a program and I only do Return to Form because my body hasn’t felt great enough to do them often. Thankfully that is changing now finally. I’ve spent two years doing regular needle work, nonstop gym workouts for three years, and over the last six months, a lot of stretching. My doctor graded me an F for mobility six months ago. He checked me again this week and gave me an A++ for improvement. Huge restoration of mobility in my hips, lumbar spine, thoracic spine and hamstrings. It’s helping so much for golf and of course speed. I still have a ways to go here but I’m probably at a B to Rory’s A+ for mobility. I haven’t done much speed training but clearly I’m getting faster. Pretty happy to be where I am right now despite only scratching the surface of this. Hoping I can continue to build here. My goal is to start and complete the Foundation soon. Fingers crossed! When I came back to golf two years ago, I was around 88 mph with driver. Now my cruising speed is about 99 with a recent high of 104 mph during my range session on Saturday. Pretty exciting 😀. Okay, time for another round of burgers. I appreciate this thread and everyone’s respective journeys here. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸💥✨🌭🍔
    • Day 25:  Went to the range super early before it got too hot.  Hit a couple buckets, one with my 7i and one with my driver.  
    • An incredible video that I encourage you to watch. I didn't know the PGA Tour's Apple Vision Pro app was so cool.
