Advice needed: Grip adjustment with driver.

[TripleH68]

Background: I am a 7 handicap. Strength is in my short game/keeping the ball in play. I am not a long hitter with irons. 9-iron = 125. 7-iron = 155. 5-iron = 175.

I have been struggling a little with the driver the last few rounds. (Cleveland HiBore 8.5/Aldila stiff shaft). Sometimes I hit a playable fade, sometimes I pull it left and long.

Yesterday I tried weakening my right hand on the grip just a touch(rotating my right hand to the right). The result was hitting a higher % straighter and longer. My question: is this grip adjustment covering up something deficient in my swing? Or is it okay? Note: I have noticed with my irons lately my misses have been a pull left of target line, usually up to 20 feet or so.

Thanks. Please answer by Monday at 8pm EDT. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
