Try the loop or figure 8 drill, take the club back more vertical and return it under the line you took it back on, but really exaggerate it. I like the feels on practice swings before I hit. I really never hit an iron with draw spin until I started using this drill ▶ this video

OTT for sure, I think there's a lot of root causes for that one. I tried for a long time before I was able to solve it (for now at least, and moved on to my next set of problems).

You’re slightly OTT. If you were to mark your takeaway and downswing your takeaway is left and your downswing is right. ▶ this video I think exaggerating your takeaway so your club is more vertical and shallowing it on the down swing will help that.

Your early extension is functionally used to shallow the club coming into impact. Going back and starting down, your shaft plane is very very steep.

Your takeaway is too much on the inside, so when you get to the top of your swing, you have no room to start your downswing on an inside to out swing path.

Ie the club plane should be swung in a loop where the club starts in front of you in the takeaway and at then at the top of the backswing it drops behind you. This is a different concept to swing path, which is what you seem to be confusing. You can still hit in to out when making an over the top movement. The OP is flipping at …
