If it goes straight right. you are hitting in to out with a square clubface. Just move the ball abit forward in your stance. As you are hitting before the club has squared up to the target line. Also check your shoulders are not closed at address. Think that might help.

If you are pushing the ball right then you are either hitting the ball in to out with an open clubface, or, you are hitting the ball with a square swingpath and a square clubface but with your alignment pointing right.

I once saw a pro who advised trying to finish your swing by horizontal in the through-swing (as a drill, natch, not a full time swing tip). When the brain has a target like that in the subconcious it makes sure it finishes everything in time.

Split hands (same grip essentially), tee in the butt of the club. Easy (3/4) swings concentrating on getting that tee pointing down to the ground at 9 and 3 o'clock.

Straight right is a great shot.....it's tantalisingly close to a draw.

You could always tweak your grip a little with the driver.
