I agree with @danny regarding looking at ball position first before doing anything with your swing. Make sure that your hands are forward at setup - aligned with the inside of your lead thigh, and then begin making incremental rearward tweaks to your ball position, monitoring your ball flight with each adjustment. You can go back as far as the middle of your stance with the short irons, and if you've been accustomed to playing it forward, that may make it seem like the ball is even with your trail foot. (It's important to use alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position.)
Be patient with this exercise, hitting multiple shots with each incremental tweak so your swing can adjust to it.
If this does not resolve the issue, we can then explore other possibilities.
@paulsgriffin - It's more of an advanced level course with regard to shaping shots, but it can help everyone at any level to read their ball flight and thereby understand both face angle and path at the point of impact. There's a lot we can then do with that bit of knowledge!!
I'm glad to learn of your improved ball striking - it definitely seems as though you are headed in the right direction!!
@paulsgriffin - Learn the Shot Shaping Grid and your ball flight will speak directly to you.
