Hi

I am a left handed player

Is the swing path of the driver much different than the irons?
In other words is the driver a flatter swing path?
If it's flatter how do you prevent swaying?

My problem is, if I try to use the same swing path as the irons, the ball travels on the right side and curves back to the left or extreme left in the end with only about 200 yds distance.

Any help is appreciated.

Your swing with the driver needs to be more shallow than the swing with your irons. I had the same problem for a while as i too am a left handed golfer. Focus on extending your arms out to the left side of the target. Imagine that after contact, you are reaching out with your left hand to shake someones hand. This helped me out.
