Hi Garbologist,

The only reason that could possibly happen is a change in your swing when your ball is on the tee. Teeing a ball up can not cause a slice. Make sure your backswing is coming high enough - what might be happening is that because your ball is teed up, you try to come in more shallow, starting with your backswing. With a shallow backswing, you will be forced to come over the top to get back on plane which creates an outside-in club path.

To test my theory, video tape your swing down the line hitting both types of shots. Let us know how things work out!!!
