My swing used to be long and I ended up kinda high too, and Tadashi also recommended to me to shorten it so it wasn't so long and to just hinge my wrists a little more because I virtually had none. What was happening before was that my hands got caught behind me and I as pushing the ball. So while it was a very minor swing change (I keep getting a lot of crap for talking about my "swing change") it was actually a very small adjustment that I didn't even have to practice on the range. I just made a mental note on my next round to only go a little past parallel and hinge my wrists, and I am getting the same distance with no push whatsoever. Since then I have been more consistent and have been shooting some of my lowest scores in a long time.

I spent a long time working on a flatter swing trying to get rid of a tendency to hit the ball what I thought was too high on average and found myself hitting pull hooks all day long, this is with a more compact, right elbow lower and closer to the body throughout the swing. It worked great for the longer clubs but my wedges and short irons really suffered for some reason. It got to where I was shanking one almost every round and I attributed it to the flatter swing plane. As soon as I went back to the more upright swing no more shanks, all that went away. I found that I hit everything straighter, with a slight fade and a little high but not sky high, when I stay more vertical. It might help your consistency but I couldn't find the secret to it. I went from a 15 to a 5 and back up to about a ten with all of this experimenting but I am done with it now. Not trying to say it won't work just that it didn't work for me and I thought I would share that.

Thanks dude for the explanation. I actually just finished hitting 200 balls expierementing with this. The results were varied, and I definitely will need to spend an incredible amount of time on it if I follow through. First, the height of my ball flight decreased dramatically. This, in turn, gave me less distance. About a half club's length in the mid irons. I struggled with the hook at first, but straightened it out about 50 balls in or so. At the end, I has a tendency to get a bit laid off. Will give about another 1000 balls or so to see what happens. I hope the next session goes better.
