More post for hitting driver please.

I have problem hitting the driver. I can hit upto 3 woods but for the driver still unable to master it.

1. Hitting down to take an air divot as been mentioned many times: on a steep plan?

2. Using a extension action, my driver goes on a steep plan, do you just hit down, drive the right arm as Yoda said? But the distance for me is still short 230 yards.

3. Taking a flat plan seems more naturally with the right arm but the action is more paddling or fanning and will hit hooks easily.

4. I have the ball position more back, rather at low point (otherwise hit a hook), is this more back position for hitting?

5. Because the ball is tee up, I found it more difficult to have a consistent swing than hitting the ball on the ground for a 3 wood, why is that?

If you can put a dartfish for hitting a driver it will be very great and appreciated.

Thanks.

I posted very simlar questions in another thread
Thanks to Yodasluke and Bobbyj (thank you gentlemen ) I started some changes very effective for my driving .
Maybe this can help you too?
1- Hovering the driver help me to concentrate on SMOOTH start up and backstroke, ON PLANE (10-6-d), with no roll action. (before it was more a "pulling out" action from the ground)
2- The air divot image is very effective for me . From the top I am more concentrate on Right Arm Thrust again the club through PP#1. I try to push my hand DOWN directly to the aiming point , and it works
3- I tee lower than I used to do.

Hoping this can help

If you are having trouble Hitting with the driver I would suspect over acceleration. Try to be more deliberate, positive and heavy (3-F-6). If you deliberately Drive the hands to Aiming Point so that you feel the #3ppt the whole way down I'll bet you'll hit the driver better than ever. Take a wet mop and push it through impact and then try to duplicate that feel (impossible to be quick). Yoda showed me this one and it works. Good luck!
