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

    • When it comes to set up routine in regards to alignment, I generally prefer my students to: 1) clubface, 2) chest and 3) feet. When the foot alignment happens before chest alignment, we tend to have issues.  I use this example often. I did an introductory flight for flight school, as a student gave me a certificate for it. As most new flyers are, I was staring at the instruments trying to be perfect. I was doing a 30 degree turn and didn’t realize the nose dropped. It had felt normal. The instructor said I had to learn what flat/level is in the air. Kind of a funny thing to say. He said to look at the horizon and nose and recognize their relationship, in order to determine level.  In golf, we see straight from behind the ball. But, when we set up to the ball, we lose what “straight” is. Have someone hold an alignment stick across your chest when you are in full set up and recognize where your lead shoulder is pointing in relation to your target.
