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
A lot of good advice here that I'm going to try to implement. cmartingolf I like your idea of adding a little bit of weight. I will say that I hit a callaway driver the other day and had much better rhythym than my Cobra Speeder X, I do believe I may be losing the feel due to how light it is, so I may toy with some lead tape, just not sure what the proper way is to apply it. BTS, also good advice, when I do shorten it, I do seem to be more consistent. Thanks to all for the help...
I picked up swing speed by going to a heavier stiffer shaft. It allowed me to swing at my normal speed because my brain new i wasn't going to over power it.
Prior to this i had a lighter/weaker shaft that i could overpower and balloon. Thus i swung slower because if i turned it up the ball wouldn't go anywhere.

I've experienced the same thing. I've broken quite a few shafts, so if have one that is too light or flexible, I have a hard time making a good swing at it; I usually end up quitting on the shot.
