I know for irons you are supposed to hit down on the ball and I feel i am definitely doing this and am getting great results. However I think I may got into the habbit of also doing this with the driver which is incorrect as I know you are supposed to sweep the ball away. Is there any drill or feeling I should look for to ensure I do this?

how I play
there is no concious swing difference between ANY club in my bag, unless it is a specialty shot. By having driver teed up forward in my stance I strike it right around the low point, an iron is a little further back and struck before the low point.
