hi slatts
there are numerous reasons why you are slicing with your driver
use the search facility there will be plenty of drills and info to keep you reading for a while.
ive gone through them all and now im having my driver shaft cut down to 43" it could just be the club is too long for you!
good luck with your search

Re: help

Hi,

Due to the small amount of loft on the face of a driver it will have less backspin than higher lofted clubs. Any flaws with your swing will be exaggerated with this club.

My advice:

If you are new to golf leave your driver at home for the first year. Use a 5 wood and progress to a 3 wood.

You will probably be hitting on an outside to inside swing path that creates the slice.

If you have not done so, get some golf lessons with a good professional.

Hope you have a great golfing future.

Re: help

people tend to swing harder with the driver then the rest of the clubs, so if a person has an over the top move, the harder you swing the more it will be magnified. If you dome barely OTT with a wedge, on a full driver swing you will really come OTT
also, as brain said about the loft
