Duck hooks with driver... fixed?

I have been hooking the ball with my driver pretty much all year and couldn't figure out how to correct it. I went to the driving range today and tried changing my grip, I brought my right hand over top of my left a little more and concentrated on clearing my hips first and sure enough, I was hitting it straight and long. Is it possible that the grip and clearing my hips really was the problem? or was I possibly doing something else today that I didn't realize?

Awesome! Thanks shade! I feel so much better now about my game, and I haven't even gotten to try it out on the course... The drives have been killing my rounds all year, hopefully this will help get my scores lower and boost my confidence... I can't believe I didn't try changing the grip and really concentrate on clearing my hips a long time ago, ah well, better late than never I suppose...
