Hi and welcome to GTO. Just off the top of my head I'm thinking ball position might be the problem. Of course, without actually seeing your swing it's hard to tell. If your irons are going way too high, try setting up with the ball back a little farther in your stance. I play with the ball back farther for my short irons and ahead more for long irons. For example, my Pitching Wedge I play the ball back about 3 inches from center while my 7 iron is almost dead center. For me the important thing while doing this is keeping the hands at the same position no matter which iron I'm using. The back of my right hand is always dead center. By placing the ball back farther you will deloft the club a little causing it to have a lower trajectory and longer distance. Check out this link on ball position, it might help.
