Played baseball all my life so I naturally want to get inside the ball rather than strike down on it. I can get a draw on my wedges and 9-5 iron or so, but with those longer clubs there's no telling if I'll get a good ball or slice the shite out of it. Man I miss playing golf

Ok. So I'm not a pro, but I have been playing for 20+ years and currently a 5 handicap cause I can't put, so take my advice for what it's worth.

The baseball swing is exactly the same thing but on a diagonal instead of horizontal plane(go look at swings from each on YouTube). You want to come from the inside, and let centripetal force and momentum carry your swing out and down. That hitting down on the ball is a bullshite swing thought that screws up more swings than it fixes. Like I said in the OP about distance to ball, I think if you got that down you'd be good to go.
