I would make sure that I'm standing tall, not hunched at the setup then I would probably try to think of Tarzan beating on the chest (thanks to iacas!!) through the impact and lead the follow through with my wrist, not the club head (imagine you're chipping)

i think that is my problem as well. playing baseball for so many years, I was always taught to "roll" the fore arms to pull the ball. my right hand comes over my left, and closes the face securely. Any pics of the grip your using?

Yeah I have the same issue. I'm not quite sure why rolling is such a mis-taught topic?

whats the chances that an adjustable driver will help me? I'm not too sure, but my irons are VERY consistant, and its really just my driver that hooks. I'm hitting a cobra speed pro m driver, with cobra sz irons. Both are regular flex, 1" long.

just a little update. I played again today, and found that choking up 3" and making my iron swing produced perfect drives. Not quite as far (235 - 245) carry, but nice and straight, and I found I can fade or draw the ball just like with my irons. So now, would it be worthwhile to have my driver shaft cut down and regripped, or just play with the choked up grip as is?
