Help with hitting my driver?

[TripleEagle]

So a little background on me: Usually hit 12-15 above par (at one point over the summer i was at 7-10), im 6ft, very skinny, i usually hit my clubs accordingly (3 hybrid= 190, 4 iron= 160-170, 5 iron= 150, 6 iron= 140-145, 7 iron= 135-140, 8 iron= 130, 9 iron= 120-125, PW= 110, AW= 90-100). I can hit my irons with a nice draw or dead straight with the occasional pull and theyre accurate 9/10 times at least, my hybrid i usually hit about where i want to- not good enough to hit a green with it every time but still straight. My driver is a different story. I often have a nasty slice, rarely a hook, its very low to the ground, and usually goes less than 220. Any advice on what it might be? It's a Big Bertha Alpha.

I am very similar to you. Good iron play, but my driver is a different animal. Lately I am improving my driver and I am starting to use it on the course (I was really scared of this club...) and I see a huge difference, the holes are much easier if you hit a good drive, and OMG it´s a confidence builder.

So, what I am working on to hit my driver, wide stance, ball to the left foot, don´t move the head forward and don´t get tense, grip it softly... and it´s working. Keep working and you will see improvement! Good luck-

Not an instructor and probably shouldn't give advice, but looking at the 2nd video, on the backswing you bring the club inside and really flat so when you get to the top of the backswing, there is no way you can bring the club inside on the downswing.  If you have to take the club out to in on the downswing it's all over and you will cut across the ball and slice it.

You are taking practice swings, which a lot different than hitting a ball. Go to the range and film yourself hitting balls.
