Dude, maybe I dont have the credentials to give advice, but, I was going through the same thing and I thought it might be my grip, cause good shots felt different than bad ones, then I tried to think about my feet and forget about the grip thing... it worked for me. Good luck

Try my two drills to 1 - get you in the correct position at the top and 2 - get you starting the downswing correctly:

and GregJWillis' drill to describe how your right hand works during the swing:
