I'm in the same boat as you under... my games satisfactory when using my irons (and sometimes even putting) but for some reason I'm just horrible at driving, and it is something that I do try to focus on considerably. However I'm by all means still a beginner (I've played/went to the driving course perhaps twenty times between last summer and this summer) but my dad's taught me considerably. Given your performance with using higher end golfing equip, I'd say it sounds like you would probably benefit from a better set (at least in terms of the driver you were using)... although I'd hate to think of how much that'd cost. Alas, I've also find that when I spend a lot of time working on my driving my iron shots suffer. Next time I go out I'm going to do some reading up on the differences in technique between the two stances.
