Tball,
Sounds like you have a solid game. I'm curious about the length of your driver? If you sustain the lag on your shorter clubs, you might consider a 43-44" inch driver with heavier overall weight. You might have to go up a degree or two in loft.
I grew up in Southern Ontario and spent a lot of time around Moe Norman and George Knudson. As a kid, I was amazed at the overall weight of Moe's clubs. They were "barbells." He would chuckle picking up a "standard" club. I believe the expression was "licorice sticks." Knudson was the same way. It's no wonder that in craving distance we sacrifice the feel for loading.
George's clubs were in the heavy "E" range and were butt weighted back to D-0. That's a lot of mass in the club but a light "swing weight" for whatever that means. He was as pure a striker as any. Moe was similar in that he had a lot of lead on the head and used funky wraps over standard grips. That was a counter weight.
I'm sure you have an extra driver. Play around with some lead tape. Load up the head and run some equal strips under a grip. I think todays drivers are WAY to light. Good Luck
