So today I went to the range and used a left handed club and I got to tell you at first it was really weird but then I started hitting the ball halfway decent. I then swithced back to right handed and I felt this zen like feeling when hitting the ball.. It was really odd. I think I'm going to continue this left handed thing for awhile to see how well it helps. Has anybody done this and if so how did it benefit your swing?

I've not done it with left handed clubs but I do practice "lefty" swings with my right handed clubs. One of the things I immediately notices was the improvement in balance and weight shift. In order to "switch hit" your balance through the shot has to be pretty sound. Initially it was difficult and I only practiced it to kill time with the last few balls in a bucket. It made a big difference in my balance through the ball when hitting right handed.
