One of the things I love about golf is that there are so many ways you can tweak things that there are endless adjustments you can make with unexpected and humorous (or frustrating) results. I've struggled with slicing my drives, and although I often hit my hybrids well I can get into a sequence of topping the ball. I recently experimented with a more "athletic" set up on my drives--knees bent more, more flexed forward at the hips, and hit 7/7 fairways with my driver over nine holes! However, I introduced a significant draw into my hybrid and iron shots. I didn't top the ball once on the fairway, but unless I made some drastic aiming adjustments, my fairway shots weren't accurate. So, what do other golfers do? Do you have different swings for different clubs? I know there are different ball positions, distance from ball, etc., but I'm talking about more fundamental swing adaptations. Does this indicate I still have a fundamental flaw in my swing that needs to be worked out? jaaanson

Drivers should have a flatter swing anyways so getting in a more athletic/lower position flattened the swing and made it go straight while irons have a more vertical swing so making your swing flatter is bad for irons.
