re: Recommendation for a good lesson

I used to say the same thing. My problem was setup. Every YouTube video out there will tell you the ball should be teed up on your left heel in a wide stance. That produced a slice for me. I had a lesson and the pro told me to tee up the ball on the logo of my shirt (about 2 inches closer to the middle) which is still forward. The pro also strengthened my grip slightly from neutral.
The setup and making sure I use a big shoulder turn has me hitting 250 with some consistency. About 220 carry. It was nice when I was finally able to play a round and all my tee shots were playable.

Parker Brandt at the U club was fun to work with.

Interesting you mention this. I get a LOT of comments on my grip with the driver. My right hand is very non standard/ strong. Probably overkill strong. My driver is oddly enough the most consistent club in my bag which is unfortunate in a sense.
And I demonstrate the same tendencies as the OP. Over swing the driver and it can turn into a hook. Chop the swing after contact and slice. Makes sense. I think the other thing that affects the hook/slice is timing of shifting that weight to the front foot. If your hands are late/ behind your rotation, you slice. If hands are early, you pull or hook.
Mentally, I try to keep my hands in sync with my belt buckle. Back swing my belt buckle is pointed back away from the ball, at contact, belt buckle is at the ball, and follow through belt buckle should be pointed at the target or close to it.
