Thin to win

I know everyone here has heard of this statement sometime in their golfing life. Well, I use that statement 18 times in a round. For some reason, I've been starting to hit the ball very thin from the fairway. However, the results aren't bad at all. Whenever I see a playing partner hitting it thin, it goes wayward, way short, way long, etc. Mine always seem to go straight and with pretty good distance control.

you're a 5 handicap, why change something thats obviously working?

Well, I've been playing for 16 years (I'm 22), so there's a reason why my handicap is pretty low. It comes down to consistency. I need to be playing a lot to play to my handicap. Two summers ago, I was a 3.3 because I played 3-4 times a week. Now, I'm lucky if I play 3 times a month. I've been playing horribly and I think my swing needs fine tuning to consistently shoot better scores. Just think, my iron shots could be much better if I hit them solid.
