Can someone please explain to me why I basically hit my irons dead straight with a little fade  but have a banana ball with my driver?  I am 50 and have lost distance but the only way I can keep my driver in play is to really strengthen my grip and set up for a hook. I find that setting up with a lower right shoulder at address helps keep me compact and in control my big mistake is too fast a backswing and getting out of position and never catching up. I try to say Sam...Snead in my head and picture his smooth swing. The  driver is a face open at contact issues. I have no video so please don’t suggest it I’m technically challenged. Lol. 36degree 7 iron is 140-145. Driver is 220-260 when I catch it good thanks for any advice

Without a video I can't tell you why you hit the ball a certain way, but maybe this thread will help:
