Look, we all want to walk before we run, but shouldn't you be doing thousands of basic motion(chip) shots, then moving on to acquired motion(punch) shots, before you worry about hitting a soft 220 yard draw with your driver? Implement what Ted has taught you, and eventually the rest will come.
I agree that you should be patient, and try to learn your basic shots well. Ted will help you get this.
However, I have found that with people that are having all kinds of problems with the driver... go to the range, and strike some smooth little shots with the driver(about 120 yard shots), being very aware of the pressure points in your HANDS. At first just take about 1/2 backswings and go to the BOTH ARMS STRAIGHT POSITION on the followthrough. This is just to let you see that you can strike the ball solidly with this club.
When the shots are mostly going straight, with solid contact... lengthen the backswing, and go to the Finish. Still be aware of the HANDS. The PIVOT is in there and is important, but train those hands to do NOTHING BUT HOLD ON. No extra flapping around. The ball should be going further now. Figure out how to stay SMOOTH, but still strike the ball LONG.
