Mine is way to inside to out on downswing. Been a constant fight for years. If my timing is good I can shoot low 70s, bad stretch add 10-12 strokes... the miss is either 80 yard push duck hook. Neither conducive to my good mental health.... what's yours?

Standing up during the swing and topping the ball.

i have a tendency to swing with arms and hands and not turn my body when i face a tough shot. result is flipping the hands or blocking the shot.

Not clearing my hips forcing my swing path out to in. If I miss, I'm going to miss right.

Sliding head slightly in front of the ball on the downswing. My square face and neutral path turns into a closed face and an out to in path. Straight pulls or pull hooks

Dropping my shoulder on the downswing causing my hits to go hard hard right.

Sometimes I close my clubface on the take-away causing a pretty ugly hook. Also, if I rush I will hit some fat shots with divots I need a back-hoe to repair.

I have a tendency to pull my PW and 9-irons...probably a good 10 yards to the left of where i want the ball to go. I had a run of about 5 rounds where this had gone away, then it magically re-appeared yesterday.

Fairway wood off the deck. Part "Yip", part swing fault, part equipment issue.... I'm short and my swing plane is really flat. All my clubs are bent 2-3 degrees flat, which you can't get in a three wood. Anyway, the club hits the ground just behind the ball, and bounces into it above the equator. I won't even try it if I have to carry something.

Damn man that is pretty rough. I know you can tinker around with the newer Titleist 3 woods and get the lie down a little, but I don't think it's anywhere near 3 degrees flat.

Yeah. I've tried just about everything. What's crazy is I can stripe them on the range. I even scheduled a lesson with a pro just to work on this issue. We went out on the course and set up about 250 from a green, and I hit most of them dead solid with a high draw. None of them were topped anything like what I'm talking about. I couldn't even demonstrate it. I'm a head case.
