I have been struggling with a low hook for weeks with my driver. I can't seem to get the ball up in the air. [

It is a lot easier to diagnose problems with your swing if you can post a video of it.

Take a look at this post http://thesandtrap.com/t/38240/my-swing-video-threads-rules-please-read

Then post a video of your swing here http://thesandtrap.com/f/4180/member-swings

I used to sway a lot, and I've found that working on the Steady Head drills has helped me a lot.  Also check out the thread about making a centered hip turn.

After I took some lessons, I started having the same problem with my driver and 3 wood, a severe low hook and no distance.  I found that I was really abbreviating my back swing, had no wrist hinge,  and then swinging down too quickly with my arms instead of rotating and allowing my arms to follow. It ended up closing my clubface and striking the ball nearer to the heel of the clubface.  What helped me was practicing an extremely slow, full backswing and a slow downswing aiming at the ball inside the intended target line.  The two swing thoughts were the slow swing and focus on striking the ball a little inside the target line. Also for my driver, I slightly exaggerate my left shoulder tilt more upward at address to get a better launch angle.  If you have some Impact Tape, try a few to see if you are hitting more toward the heel of your club.
