Default Hitting woods vs. irons

Should my swing majorly change when hitting a wood vs. an iron? I'm hitting my irons 5-9 irons fine, but when I use my 3-4 hybrids, woods or driver, I completely mess up. I slice my drives like crazy and have been trying to barely alter my swing when switching back and forth, and it's been working moderately. Any help is word up, thanks.

You should essentially be using the same swing for all of the clubs. It will vary a bit because of the length of the club, but there is no change you should purposefully be doing other than possible adjusting your ball position at address depending up on the length of the club.

It is very common to have a progressively greater slice as you hit with longer clubs. This is a result of the length as well as loft. The greater the loft, the more difficult it is to impart side spin. Essentially your 5-9 iron swing isn't quite right, but its playable. The faults are magnified as you move on to the longer clubs.
