Iron shots shanking

Hey guys just a quick question really, after some advice.

Just lately with my iron shots from the fairway/rough they seem to be either shanking badly and lowly to the right, not going over far, or I hit the top of the ball and it goes again not very far but straight-ish.

Feels like I am just hacking down the holes sometimes. Any ideas why or what to try and do?

Was thinking of that myself, not been for a lesson yet. Guess it can only help.

Cheers

Just thought i'd post - played at Pidley today (Lakeside Lodge in Cambs), shot 114 so wasnt great but all my iron shots bar 3 went high and far as I wanted them to, just the 3 duffs which in all honestly I was just too casual with them. Felt so much better today.

Consistency s the key though to bringing my scores down

 I had a nightmare with that problem a while ago,  if it ever happens to me now I just have to feel as if the toe hits the ball before the heel.

then once the confidence has come back I just forget about it and it doesnt happen.
