For me it's just a matter of getting better at getting my right shoulder working down-plane in the downswing and hitting a lot of basic motion shots will not help a lot with that. But the basic and acquired motion will undoubtedly help a lot with a host of other issues.

By the way, do you have enough loft on the driver? Do you maybe have to scoop to get it high enough in the air?

I wish it was that simple. I generally push or hook ATM. Sometimes I might slice but last round push or hook only.

I think the cobras actually play a bit higher than they list on the face.

I think this is the case with me. I don't feel like I am using the same release with my driver as I do with my good iron shots. Not necessarily scoop but an unnecessary flip to close the clubface or sweep to close the clubface.

Yesterday I started doing basic motion with my driver in hopes I can improve the conditions of my hands through impact. But the driver is such a different beast its hard to know if you are doing it properly. Its a waste of time to practice a wrong motion IMHO.

During the summer I got to play quite a bit more and actually hit it quite well. But lately, I seem to have lost the plot.
