Different swing for Driver vs. Irons???

[MCFung]

So, over the last few years, I have avoided hitting my driver like the plague. the typical result for me was a smother hook. I would always use the same swing I use for my irons, but while I hit my irons fairly well, my driver was virtually unusable.

Now I was browsing the forums the other day, and found a post by a short guy (5'6") who was having the same issues, and people told him his driver swing plane was too shallow. Since I'm the same height, I thought I'd give the remedy a whirl. I choked up a bit, took a steep swing, and AND IT WORKED! By taking a very upright swing plane on the driver, I was able to put it down the pipes. But the problem is, it messed with my iron swing. Suddenly I was struggling with hitting irons that I was normally very comfortable with hitting.

So what do I do? Do I keep working at this two swing method to try and make it work? Or can I find a happy medium swing that will work with both irons and my driver?

HELP!

Thanks,

Mark

I'm in your same position. My woods have become good, but irons went to hell.

Biggest difference is weight and striking the ball. Irons you're hitting down on the ball to compress it. Driver you're hitting it on an ascending blow.
