My last few rounds I must of hit 8 iron shots fat!!! I just want to explode when I do it. The link below is a short video of me hitting balls at the range. Does anyone see anything in my swing that would open me up to hitting it fat. :confused

Personally I don't think it's your swing----maybe move the ball back a little ? :)
I have had a couple people suggest that. Hopefully its something that simple.
You have a nice swing , maybe invest in a lesson from a pro , it doesn't look like it would take much to fix your problem

Ditto... Don't listen to anyone suggest how to fix your issue unless they are a pro....Quote:

Hard to tell if ball position is it - the camera is angled and cuts off the ball...
Your setup is similar to mine...I felt like I was looking in a mirror.
2 things I instantly noticed:
Your grip is really strong, with both hands. This can change the leading edge coming in and make you hit fat shots among other things.
You have a little bit of a reverse weight shift going on. Your upper body slides fwd just a bit as you go back. This moves your head and changing your head position is a classic chunk maker.
Lots of simple fixes for those out there.
Not a pro (any more. Former NCAA coach. Just my two cents
Funny you mentioned my grip. I recently changed it to a more neutral grip, I have noticed some improvement. My round today I hit a couple fat but no where near like before. I will work on keeping the head still through the swing. Thanks for the input!!!
