in todays game, a moderate angle, non rising ball flight will give you the best distance and accuracy anyhow.
at a 6 handicap, why would you want to fix something that's not broken?

I was going to say the same thing. You gotta understand how much force is being applied to the ball by those pros. Golf is about playing within yourself and just doing what you're capable of. Just because the pros do something, doesn't mean that it's a very common thing and probably a very small percentage of people can actually pull off shots that the pros make. I'd love to be able swing like Tiger, but that's just not a possibility, so why fight it?
