So this is a weird thing... a month or so ago I had a streak going of good shots with driver (not long, but straight enough that I was hitting a lot of fairways). That left me and I started slicing it again. So this evening I figure I go to the range and try some stuff to just see if I can find a way out of it. I hit everything good except driver, and then I decided to just try lining up so my club head is closer to me than the ball - almost like a practice swing. When I come through the ball I then have to reach away from my body a bit in order to make contact, which counteracts the motion that's giving it a bunch of right spin.
This seems to have more or less solved the problem... which I'm guessing will work until it doesn't, but I don't know why that never occurred to me before. I know it sounds like a recipe for a bunch of shanks off the toe but I actually never came close to that in about 20 balls... which probably means I'm saving those for the course, but still.
