Today's drivers have such a huge face and are built to go mostly straight. You hear the TV guys talk about pros going to their 3 wood when they really need to shape a shot for that reason.
You may be an anomaly.
This certainly isn't how it's supposed to be or the case for most high handicappers.

The driver is the least forgiving club in the bag and has the most dispersion. A bad drive can and will end up way out of play far more than any other club.
Maybe you've just practiced and mastered your driver before the other clubs.
