Driver going straight, but hooking 3 wood

I can't figure out how why my driver is going long and straight(sometimes a soft draw), but I hit a bunch of balls with both my Fusion +3 FW(NVS stiff) and TM V-Steel (steel shaft) and I'm hooking both of them.
They are not snap-hooks, but long sweeping hooks. The only way I was able to hit them straight was to come straight back on the backswing. Should I move the ball back in my stance or is that just compensating for a bad swing?

Same thing goes for me, I sometimes hook my V-steel, the face is like 1* closed or so but I just open my stance and shoulders at address and it straightens right out. I guess that would mean for you to take the club away further outside.

How many grams is the driver shaft?
How many grams is the 3W shaft?

Personally, I think the Driver and FW woods should have the same specs except for the weight. The Driver shaft should probably be a few grams lighter.

I guess I'll have to open my stance a bit. I hate to have to change my swing for a single club.

Well for me its not a swing change just a setup change. If i want to draw the ball or hook it lol i'll setup pretty square to target, but if I want to fade it i setup for a big fade and it ends up being a baby fade lol but regardless of your setup you should be swinging down your body line no real changes, same release same takeway and everything
