Hi paul.

Manchester chap here also.

regarding your driving problems, it helps to go right back to basics . I've got a quick check list for you
1) grip : make sure at settup that you have a neutral grip ( you should only see 2 - 2 half knuckles of your left hand ).Don't grip the club too tight.
2) posture : Try to maintain your spine angle throughout the swing.This will promote a constant height and eliminate chunks and tops.
3) Alignment : make sure feet hips and shoulders are parallel to target line.
4). Backswing : start your backswing by sweeping the club away .This will promote plenty of width through the swing

5) downswing : This must start from ground up , knees , hips then shoulders . This will automatically put your arms and hands into such a position that you will easily be able to square the clubface at impact.

Try to relax and remember , SWING THROUGH THE BALL , NOT AT IT.


hope this helps
