@mvmac or @iacas do you have drills to help get this down?  I guessing you do, this site is filled with a lot of great stuff

From deliberate to eventually full swing.

Thanks

It would be best to start a My Swing thread if you haven’t already. There are lots of drills that can be done with the driver that are similar to iron drills.

"Why can I hit my irons ok but slice my driver off the planet?" OR "Why does my 3 wood go farther than my driver?" These are two common questions we see on The Sand Trap and I wanted to put this

Most likely it's an angle of attack issue, hitting down with the driver. Could be playing the ball too far back with the driver.

I am definately not an expert, basically I am a golf newbie - but last year, I sliced driver a lot.

Now, it looks the problem is fixed - or it's better.

What helped me? 

I watched some of Monte Scheinblum's videos and it looks that approach helped.

I focus on bowing wrists at the top, dropping the club to the slot and then body rotation.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
