I seem to have adopted a swing path for my driver which tends to go around my body, of which I feel I am stiking the ball quiet well and getting a lot of distance. My swing path for my irons is quiet different whereas i take the club up high and it works okay. My question is "Should you have the same style for both drivers and irons". And what does everyone else do?

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.
I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.
For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
Re: Swing path
Barb, keep doing what you're doing.
Drivers (1 and 2 woods) and irons are different beasts. Drivers are meant to hit the ball as far as it possibly can - accuracy is secondary by design.
Irons are meant for accuracy and require a somewhat different strike.
You're doing just fine.

Re: Swing path
Barb,
If you are able to see the swing path with your driver and fairway woods (metals) as well as with your irons, you are executing one of the unarguable correct aspects of the swing.... you are keeping your head back and behind the ball through impact. Keep doing that and do not be concerned about your plane, angle or anything else in your swing. By seeing the swing path, you will keep the ball in play and score well. Nothing else matters. Don't further complicate your swing.
