i now always think of the driver as being my control club. i use to think that way about my 1 iron as i seemed to always find the fairway with it and since doing the same with the driver i seem to hit more fairways too. i have never been long with driver i hit about 250 to 260yards and I'm more than happy with that distance as i can reach all holes in par if i hit them straight.
maybe if you concentrate on hitting the sweet spot more than trying to hit longer you might end up getting more distance.
best of luck and good to know that book has helped your game so much.
