It sounds like your right shoulder is coming too far 'out' at times, which can make your angle of attack steep.
Lots of possible variables, but without seeing any pics or video I'd say you either have a right hand grip that is too much in the palm (right wrist not level), and/or are not tracing a straight plane line on the backswing. The focus on the left hand rotation is a way to 'save' the shot but if you don't get it rolling through, your right shoulder jumps 'out' and you get steep (sky shots), or your right shoulder moves well, but you are under plane and you push.
Ball position could also be a factor.
As always - impact fix is the best place to start looking. Is your right wrist bent and level? Is the shaft and left arm in line face on (left arm flying wedge)? and the right forearm in line (down the line - right arm flying wedge)?

Thank you for your response.
I am interested in the "not tracing a straight line in the backswing" comment. Are you refering to keeping the grip end of the club pointing at the target line or the shaft parallel to the line on the backswing? That is what I am trying to do. My practice takeaway is similar to the drill where you cock your left wrist where the shaft is lying parallel to the line and then go straight up to the top of the backswing.
too much lean in your driver perhaps . which will make contact of the ball too high above the face= SKY, which causes from too steep. bad fly wedge ( laid back ). The driver is design is not the same as an iron design.
handle too forward also equates to .. Open face .. Depending on how the impact fix is Set ...

Sounds like you might be trying to 'cover' the plane line, rather than 'trace' it.
get a couple small mag lights and tape them end to end, find a line to trace and let me know what you find.
I suspect you are getting out, over plane (steep) by trying to make your hands/club move too much 'on' (covering) the line, rather than back, up, and "in".
