I have a tendency to kick my right foot back when I try to rip a driver. This tends to make my shots go right. Does anyone have a tip for stopping this?

Better shoes?

Do you mean that your right foot is slipping?  If so, and you've got golf shoes with decent spikes, then you're probably trying to achieve more power by lunging your body at the ball, which obviously isn't the right way to do it.  Any time I've got a driver in my hand, one of the first things I do at address is to make sure my feet are really well connected to the ground--because your feet are your only source of leverage.  If I'm going to try to rip a tee shot, I'll simply move my right foot wider by an inch or two, and maybe drop it back a bit (so that my feet become slightly closed to the target line).  This gives me the best chance to make a big, wide turn from a stable platform.

If your foot is slipping, though, then you're probably trying to move laterally, rather than focusing on rotation.  Or you just need new spikes.
