Another good point. When I drive hard w/ my legs, I usually push off my right foot. The harder I push, the more I get my hips moving cross-laterally.

The drill Jim mentioned above has always helped me, too. Anytime I'm not feeling CF, I like to just take a couple baseball-type swings (horizontal to the ground).

The push slice has always been a problem for me w/ my driver. I've gotten most of the overactive lower body issues worked out, and have found yet another (hopefully the last) cause. If I don't really think about setting my weight towards my heels at setup, it creeps towards my toes in the backswing. In an effort to regain balance, everything straightens and flattens - collision + reverse role.
