So this is what I’m trying to do with my wedges ... now keep in mind I don’t pull the 9 iron or 8 iron nowhere near as much.... also same brand and shafts club set and wedges make up...
Aim the face at the flag 100 out swing with a normal path with less downward strike... but It isn’t happening like its suppose to.. I’ve tried the ... or maybe it is

ball position changes ... I’ve tried face direction changes ... I’ve tried lie angle changes.... I’ve use the D plane calculator... I’m not getting it with these dang wedges....
Help!!

RA,
If you are hitting strong pulls and the ball is initially launching way left, I would pay attention to the club face. Technically, if the swing direction is left to offset the downward strike the club face will be OPEN TO THE SWING DIRECTION
Also, be sure to check the lie angles of the wedges and make sure they are not excessively upright
