Well, you're lefty so that screws everything up for me.
But what RB said about teeing the ball up and where it is in your stance has a lot to do with it. I've been driving very well this summer, although I'm not a big hitter (275 is about the end of my range). I try to tee the ball up so that it's 1/2 ball about the face of my driver when it's facing the ball on the ground (does that make sense?). I also play my driver off the instep of my left foot (which I guess would translate to your right foot). I know someone who plays the ball even with his crotch and drives the ball as straight as can be, so you really need to figure out what works for you.
My problem this summer has been my irons. When they're on, they're money - I'm getting pretty damn accurate with my 5-6-7 and landing shots within a foot of my target point - but I have to slow myself down and make sure that I'm lining up correctly. I have a real problem with wanting to shade everything to the left, so I have to line myself up, stop, look and usually do it again.
I've been threatening to buy new clubs for 3 years now, but I just never seem to get around to it. I've been playing with the same set of Wilson Irons for at least 10 years, and I'm comfortable with them, but they need to be regripped, and I'm not sure that polishing these turds is better than just buying new ones. I also need a new driver, but I've figured out how to make this one work for me. Decisions, decisions....
