Driver problems

At the moment I've got this problem where I'm hitting my irons pretty well but when it comes to the driver and 3-wood there are duck hooks and I'm pulling it left. Are there any areas I can look at specifically with the woods to fix this?

Start by looking at your posture, alignment, grip and ball position.
.
Make sure you posture is athletic and balanced.

Make sure your alignment is para left of target for feet, knees, hips, shoulders and forearms

Check your grip is not too strong

Make sure the ball is not too fat forward in your stance for your driver and three wood.

If these are all fine then start looking for more complex solutions but a hook is normally corrected by fixing one of the above faults.

try checking too see if your club head is "square" at the top of your swing.
