Q&A: 1-iron vs. driver? Ten Points?

Question by Jean-Louis: 1-iron vs. driver? Ten Points?
I have been golfing for 5 years now. I’m 16 and I can’t hit my driver. I completely smash my 1-iron its straight and long. So my question is why can’t I hit my driver? I have a Callaway Big Bertha 454 driver. Its 11* loft and has a RHC light shaft. I don’t know my exact club head speed but it isn’t that fast. I choke down on every club in my bag including my 1 iron. I hit my 1-iron 200 yds and my driver goes 50ft. then drastically turns right. should I even bother with my driver anymore?
The 50ft. was an exageration.

The swing between irons and driver for me has always been slightly different. I try to keep the driver near the ground as long as possible during my backswing, this allows me to have a better plane to hit the ball on the follow through.
