Open Driver Face at Address

I just got back from the range where I continually hit my drives low and left. Frustrated, I opened the clubface at address and hit straight drives. What the heck am I doing that an open club face at address produces straight drives?? If I knew a little about physics, I suppose I could figure this out on my own.

Thanks in advance.

You wait for it to catch up, you just wait a bit too long.

One thing you can try is to set up square but instead of waiting for it to catch up, accelerate the hands a bit faster.

Grip? I know it sounds basic, but a grip can change over time even with good players...strive to never forget the fundamentals.

I agree with Cmays, that's rotating your upper body too fast & arms to active. It's one of my pet problem, trying to wack the ball, too eager and losing tempo & good swinging motion. Opening club face does compensate it but better work on smooth tempo from takeway to followthrough at the end.
