It's strictly a maneuver to use when hitting a ball off the tee, but not as a permanent fix, at least not for me. Hitting off the ground I wouldn't try it, especially since you're trying to hit down on the ball, hit the ball first. You'll find you can get so much more power by hitting down rather than trying to sweep the ball. Especially when these tight fairways it's even harder to try and pick the ball off the ground.
I hate hitting off mats at the driving range, but I found just hit a couple of balls off the mats with your irons, but aim at the mat. You'll find it's easy because the mat will allow your club to trap the ball. Now, move over to the grass hitting area and hit down on the ball with your irons, but keep in mind everything you just did on the mats.
