I usually fly my SW 85-90, and today was flying it from 100-102. Eight iron was carrying 148-152 when it normally flies about 135.

Here's a good drill in regards to your left foor action.
Set up like your going to hit a ball and then raise your left heel off the ground. Keeping the ball of your foot on the ground take a practice swing and on the through swing keep that heel up. You won't spin out if your weight goes to your left front foot. Take a few practice swings and then hit a few balls with the drill and see how it feels. It should make it difficult to get the clubhead past your target line and keep you from coming across the ball from outside in.
Try it.
