Hitting a hook on accident
I am hitting a hook on my iron shots now...

It seems when I play the ball around the middle of my stance I get a hook no matter which iron it is. The only time I can hit it dead straight is if it's far back in my stance.

What am I doing wrong? I used to be able to hit every iron straight.

You may have flatten your swing without realising it and you are coming way inside.

Weaken your grip. Open the face of the club more.

I'll agree with both tips so far.

I used to have a slice so I learned to hook to fix it. Then, hooked it awfully. Strong grip and a more upright swing helped me in my case.
