If I haven't misunderstood, then with the woods and driver I should focus on applying SK2 and let SK1 come along for the ride?
I have just had another thought as I reread your post, is SK1 not about hitting down on the ball but more about the hammer action and its application to certain parts of the ball?

Sk1 is about hitting the ball with the sweetspot as Slater has said. You only hit horizontally with the driver and 3 wood when the ball is on a tee, that will not necessarily happen automatically and has drills to assist with it, other wood shots from the fairway are hit with the same descending blow as long
irons(you would need to hit down at 10 deg with a 3 wood from the fairway). The hammer action is about the correct approach angle for each club, SK2 is about hitting the ball on a path that comes into the ball from the inside, contacts the ball on the widest part of the arc then travels inside again past impact.
