Hitting to the left (not hooking) with short irons

I have problem hitting 6-PW irons, usually hitting the ball to the left (I am right handed). The ball just goes straight to the left, no hooking at all. With the 6 iron, the ball is about 10 yards left of the target; and the PW about 6-7 yards left of the target. I have fewer problems with the 5 iron. No problem with the 4, and 3 irons. Also there is no problem with the Driver.

I didn’t have this problem until a year ago. But as I feel my ball striking is more solid the problem gradually increases. Does anyone know what my problem is? I don’t want to aim right at all.

Thanks,

You could just be aimed left even though you feel as though you are aimed straight. I get this way sometimes only I tend to aim right of the target yet I feel aimed straight...so when my ball goes right at first I'm like "What the!!??" Thinking something is wrong with my swing when I actually just hit a straight shot where I was aimed.

If you're sure you are aimed correctly it could only be that you have an outside in swing with a square to slightly closed clubface.
