Driver Technique Confusion

[ohiogolfer]

Hi so lately I've been struggling with driver while hitting irons relatively well with a draw. I posted a memberswing a while ago when I was struggling with a pull hook with driver and since then I fixed that sort of. Ended up turning into a huge slice. In the last week fixed the slice and am hitting draws again but very weak short draws that often are to high. But I believe I may have found a fix and was wondering if this is how others hit their driver. I understand that you are supposed to hit driver on the upswing but I think this has actually been causing me to hit the weak shots by almost trying to sweep the ball. Right as I started to actually feel as though I am swinging down I felt like I had power again. When I say I am hitting down I try to swing down at a point behind the ball. Does anyone else do this?

Feel ain't real @ohiogolfer. It's tough to say whether you are hitting down or up. And note that "hitting down" versus "hitting up" is often a matter of a total of only 5-8°.

You're  releasing better with that feel .    Catching ball on the up swing my have had you holding off release a bit  

Only saying this as I had similar issue

I got a new driver about 20 months ago and have learned to hit it on an upswing and it has improved my distance considerably. I tee it high. Occasionally I may "forget" what I am doing and try to hit a 3W or hybrid on an upswing and top it. If I hit 3w off the tee, I will tee it low and consciously think about getting over top of it with weight more forward to hit it solid and descending.
