Probably swinging out to in. This causes side spin ie the slice. It always is exaggerated more by the Driver and the woods. Perhaps load up a video? Bob is your man anyway sure he will be along shortly

No experts but check your fundamentals and ball position.
This is where most faults begin, I know that's where my slice comes from.
I'm sure Bob will be along soon to ask for more info, and give sound advice.

I lie awake at night daydreaming of my old slice.......you lucky lucky lucky bugger. Try snap hooking everything longer than a 4-iron for size!
On a serious side, slicing could be caused by a couple of simple to fix things. Were you fitted for your driver? Using a stiff shaft when you need a regular could cause this. Also try not to force a draw by lining up wrong as this only makes things worse. GM has published lots of good articles for slice fixing...try looking at the advice pages for information.

I've tried to check fundementals on the range, I.E ball position, grip, stance, giving myself more room, standing closer, I also tried putting more emphasis into my follow thru but nothing has changed.

Also, make sure you are releasing the club in the downswing, maybe a stronger grip would help too.

Are you sure its a slice?
Does it start left and travel right or start straight and then move off right? (For a right hander)

You will be swinging out to in then. My honest advice would be to seek a pro's help. Its not a easy thing to remedy. Be prepared for hard work and a soul destroying journey.

slices are horrible - you lose so much distance
could be a variety of things - mine comes and goes - usually cos i've turned too much and the driver isnt square at impact
go to the pro!!

Many things will cause a slice. So best to see a pro for a lesson. Just one thing. The reason you see it more with the driver or any low, lofted club for that matter is. The less loft, less backspin. So the side spin you put on with your swing. The more it shows. The more lofted clubs have more backspin, so helping to counteract the side spin. Keeping the ball straighter.

Get yourself to a pro, and get yourself videoed, so you can see where you are going wrong. It makes it easier to understand. Best of luck fella.
