Head movement

[LSH]

I have a problem that keeps coming back again and again. I believe my head moves forward on the down swing. I hit many shanks with the irons on all types of shots from a few yards to full shots. It does not affect my driver as much but most other clubs it does. When I really try to stay behind I probably go too far. I hit solid irons but pull everything left by 20 yards more or less depending on the length of the shot. It is frustrating and absolutely ruins my rounds.
How do I make a pivot and wallop the ball while keeping my head in the proper position?

I can understand your pains but your post is quite confusing. First you mention that you shank the irons and then you say that you 'hit solid irons' but pull everything. Perhaps you can post a video of your swing and the rest of the guru's can help you out.

Could you be hitting a "smother shank" where you come very over the top?
I've certainly had a bout of that where I ended up too outside and shanked, almost the opposite of the open face hitting out to right field shank.
