That's pretty much covered it dawg!

It raises the toe of the club so it's not sitting as it should at address. Sweet strikes may go high but shorter than normal (it's a known way of hitting a higher trajectory - just don't ask me how that works. Someone on here probably knows).

It will cause a different plane than you're used too as well so you may feel like you're swining it the same way, but your arms may well compensate on the way up, and consequently on the way down, from your changed starting position.

The funny thing is when you try raising your hands and standing a little further away, you may find you've been doing it for a while without realising because it will feel very weird!
