Thanks for the replies. I started doing something new the other day, i was noticing that i was topping the ball too much these days with my irons, so i stood in front of a mirror and noticed that i was releasing my wrists too soon on my downswing. I watched a video of a pro the day before and i could see very clearly that he was releasing his wrists a lot later in the downswing than i was. So i hit the range this morning to try releasing my wrists later on in my downswing. And it worked very well with my irons at least. I was now taking a divot after hitting the ball and there was a feeling of "elasticity" when i hit the ball, kind of like a smack, rather than a forced lift that i was getting used to. I didn't have the time to try my swing change with my driver, but am hoping this is going to yield similar results, albeit i'm very scared of changing how i hit my driver, believe it or not, driving is the most consistent part of my game. So lets see if the same swing change works for me with my driver, if it does, i think it will be safe for ME to conclude that both irons and driver swings are very similar. If it doesn't, i'll have to try and have two separate swings, 1 for my driver and 1 for my irons. Somehow, two different swings doesn't make sense, to me at least.

Rao.
