Well, I'm off to my worst start probably ever, by far. Can't hit a shot to save my you-know-what. Some of my recent drives are just flat out terrible. I don't even know how this happens but the ball is hitting the ground and making a divot like 4 inches after I hit it. Obviously it doesn't get airborne and travels a whopping 50 yds or so. What am I doing here?

I'd get on a TRACKMAN ASAP. Sounds like a very late hit to me-getting well past the ball before arms get extended. If that's it, try putting a tee in the ground behind the ball and focusing on it; releasing (extending) a lot earlier. Might help.

Like I'm trying to hold on to the angle too long?

Yea maybe. You're hitting the very top of the ball, no? Have to be to drive it into the ground like that. So you are not in an in-line condition soon enough. What I call too late; body getting there way before arms and club? Try the tee behind the ball drill and release early. Just to see if it works...

Check your setup body tilt.

Naw man..sippin on some wine though. :) Slurp.

Don't post drunk, and caution when at all buzzed! With less inhibitions, you will post some of your dumbest material for hundreds of people to see!

You gotta figure out what happened in the off season, where to go next.

Same thing happened to me. Started off hitting it real good. Then I lost it a bit. Lost it even more hitting wedges off packed dirt. (guess what happened) Completing the comeback and then some tomorrow though.

You'll get it. Go to roughly what you know as orthodox, or what last worked (careful using feels) and work from there. Or at least, that would've helped me a couple weeks ago while I was manically charging around my yard. Funny, I am never as logical with my own game as I am looking at others'. (I get mad!)

Setup pivot arms hands.

What happens when you hit the sweetspot?

All I can say is I don't see that shot happening if you are swinging left enough. Not sure what you think, and not sure without seeing you of course. You gonna get it.
