I made that change last year. I actually dont put as much strain on my shoulder (injured it) anymore and actually am hitting the ball much farther then I used to.

That is great to hear. Funny that you mention the change from injury. I have learned that Ben Crane made the same change after a back injury. I looked at his 2 swings. His older swing is more like my current swing (high hands, lift and more in front of me). His new swing is where I am thinking about going (lower, deeper hands). He has since said that he did in fact lose distance, but gained much more accuracy. I could be OK with some loss in distance.

I am going to spend some time at the range this week with the vision of his swing in my mind and see how it works out. I am pretty sure that if I go this route, my irons will need to go a degree or two flatter. Probably should bring some electrical tape and a board to check it.
