So I traded in my XLS 10.5* Draw last week and got fitted for a Ping G10 9* and have hit it decently (usually only on the par 5's, 3W is my go to stick).

I went to the range today to get more familiar with it, due to the diff in shape, weight, shaft, grip, etc so when I do break it out i'm not self conscious and have 30 swing thoughts racing. after a few good draws, I started skying the ball, not swinging up at the ball, it was just hitting the crown. The old tee I was using was a 2 3/4" and the ball sat a lil higher than I liked. So I thought, hit it like its a tee'd up baseball.

Now, I don't know if anyone uses this as thier regular swing, but my god when it's struck well, it flies!

My question is, do people use this swing? I mean it felt natural and powerful. Maybe I've been swinging my driver wrong all this time and finally had a revelation or is this bad juju and I should totally forget it happened?

I've read and heard people/teachers say swing it like a baseball bat and sweep the ball off the tee, just wanted to know if this is what they meant.

I mean, I like my normal driver swing, when it's on.

    • Wordle 1,816 2/6* ⬛⬛🟧⬛⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧   forgot to play yesterday
    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.
