I had been slicing the ball pretty badly with my driver and after attempting a number of quick fixes I realized there must be something more fundamentally wrong with my swing. The more I thought about it the more I realized I was doing something wrong with my left side. Luckily I stumbled upon this video and now I really understand what it means to clear your hips.
I've been doing a nice hip clearing drill I saw on The Golf Fix. You just setup normally and then point your front toe down the target line. From there you try to make a full swing. You won't be able to get much of a backswing but on your down swing you'll really get the feeling of your hips being rotated.
The next step for me is to get a good weight transfer. I've heard the various swing thoughts like 'crush grapes' or 'squeeze a sponge' with your front foot. However, I've never really grooved this into my swing properly. This video has a great weight transfer drill though:
Hopefully I'll be able to work on this one tomorrow. It feels like I am getting really close to having a nice consistent swing (HAH, famous last words).
