The term "two-way miss" in golf means a golfer is missing to both the left and the right. In other words, the golfer really doesn't know which way the ball is going to go from one shot to the next. They don't have control over their golf ball. That's true for almost every recreational golfer who struggles to break 90.

Why do I slice with my driver but not my irons?

Is it a stroke if you knock your ball off the tee?

No. Rule 6.1a tells us that we start a hole by making a stroke and a stroke, by definition, is the forward movement of the club with the intent to hit the ball. Knocking the ball off the tee by accident is not intent to hit the ball so it doesn't count as a stroke.

Why is it so hard to swing from the inside?

All of a sudden, you're going to find it very difficult to swing too far from the inside because your body is essentially in the way. When you clear your hips out aggressively, that's what gets them out of the way. It makes room for the arms to drop underneath and inside.
