beat the heck out of it

Stooopid card reader wouldnt read my debit card so I had to go to the pro shop.  Bought a large bucket of balls to hit at lunch today.  Perfect sunny day in the 70s.  Ground was still wet from all the rain but not mucky.  Only a couple of other people doing the same thing.

Hit a bunch with the GW.  Finally grooved it to the point where I had I  straight shot.  Still pushing it to the left.  Moved on to the 5i.  Took a while to groove that one.  Got it going a bit but a lot more to the left than I would like.  A few were good.  Either I have something wrong with my swing, likely, or I need less flex on my shafts.  I wonder if I am getting too much height.  Is that hubris or vanity?  I keep trying to find irons with less offset than my xlis but the numbers don't add up that way.  Moved on to the 7i and did ok with those.  Tried a few with the cobra baffler rail h 5h but quickly gave up on that.  Still, a nice day. 

Here are my questions for my lesson on Wednesday:  1) how do I tee the ball and hold the club with offset clubs?  2) what am I doing to cause me to hit more on the toe and how do I correct - is it the shaft length?  3) the lefts and how do I cure them - is it my stance?
