Suddenly started pulling with driver. Here are some facts:
Hdcp of 4
Average distances: driver 275; 8 iron 155; 6 iron 180
ball flight: boring, medium trajectory, straight
Grip: 3 knuckles left hand; finger grip both hands with grip under heel pad of left
Good shoulder turn
Driver ball position: left groin
Should I try to widen backswing more?

Make sure your TAILbone is closer to the target than the BASEof your neck at impact.

Hit the inside-back of the ball (about two dimples in), with a slightly open clubface.

Make sure the grip of the club is ahead of the clubhead.

Try to get your RIGHT ARM UNDER your left arm at impact.

Try to approach the ball with more of the side of your left forearm not the 'front' of it.

The question is do you know where the groin is? That ball position is too far toward the center of the stance for most players. Left armpit is the normal position for the driver.

The instinct to 'kill it' often leads to the pull when a stronger lead hand grip is used. Hard to 'trust the swinging force'.

Drill hitting your driver half speed, full motion, half distance, and build the distance back up 3-4 shots at a time, try to increase each step 10-15 yards.
