When using (what I think is) a hitting procedure, I'm having great success hitting very straight and very pure irons. In fact, I've been hitting some wonderful shots all the way through my bag....until I get to my driver, where my ball develops a sudden affinity for the right side of the golf course. When "hitting" the driver, my clubface feels open at impact, is open at impact, and I do not get the same results as I do with my other clubs. I feel like I'm making the same swing, but obviously something is going on here. Any suggestions?
The thing that I see most of the time is bad rythm. If there's ANY attempt to add more force to the driver, the body might rotate a little too far. For hitting (4 barrel), the startdown is the same as swinging. Then the right shoulder must become the hitters' platform. If the right forearm is not allowed to pass your line of sight, you are left without the proper overtaking. You can hit it off the planet to the right if the startdown is too fast or the overtaking doesn't take place.
I use this explanation a lot in my own teaching. Imagine a door closing around a hinge. You don't close the door by moving the wall (turning your body). You close the door by moving it around the hinge. Imagine the hinge pin being the left arm, not your spine. The club passes around the left arm (the golfers' flail). If the wall continues to move, the door has a really hard time catching up.
I'd bet a LARGE sum of money that this is your problem, simply guessing by description. Seeing it would surely help.
