I was at the range yesterday after an 18 hole round. I was getting in some work with my 5-FW. I hit a few stinkers with it during the previous round. 

I was expirimenting with the distance I set up from the ball. Changing back and forth from a more flat, and/or more up right swing. 

What I found I was doing with these two different swing planes was the more up right swing had a lower ball trejectory, while the flatter swing had the ball flying noticeably higher. 

So is this a normal situation for ball flights? I never thought about this being the case before, or if it's even a viable addition to one's bag. I didn't try it with any other club as I only had my 5-FW with me.

Depends on the golfer.

I have been working on this too

 

I have found that with a flatter swing, I tend to reach around and have more of a trap draw or lower punch like trajectory. I have also found that when I stand further away from the ball I tend to flatten out the swin plane and reach more and toe hook or trap draw or whatever  

 

I have found that when I stand closer to the ball my plane is steeper but I also found that I get more upward trajectory and higher ball flight  

 

Dont know why or what the physics are behind it but it’s something I have been working on and this has been my observation
