@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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
