If I'm on the tee with say a 6I I know how far I can hit a ball and since its not 200+yards I (mostly) just swing; with a wood something (subconscious?) take over and I HEAVE THOSE SHOULDERS.

The "tilting change" at the range probably just distracted me from thinking about hitting the ball long enough for me to just swing.

Perhaps I should have posted this on the psychology forum so that some one can sugegst a way to repeat the trick.
I can only suggest that you consider all your clubs as having a "7" marked on them. Swing at the same tempo with the same swing as your seven iron. OK, the swing plane will be flatter due to the club length and you should alter the relative ball position. Another consideration is to maintain your spine angle and swing around it, that's why your right shoulder will drop down and under your chin in the downswing.
