A few things cause a slice - swinging too hard (causes an "over the top" motion and outside to in path). It sounds like you have an outside-in swing. Try closing your stance and maybe standing a little further from the ball (but not to the point you are falling over). A draw setting would help out also. The over the top is due to starting the down swing with your shoulders and arms instead of your hips. This is caused by swinging too hard. Try swinging a little easier and keep your head behind the ball and eye on it. Also, a more compact backswing with minimal weight shift going back will help you shift your weight to your front foot better. I have a 20 yard fade with a neutral club and square stance - the draw face and closed stance make it a dead straight shot.

I've been using a draw 13 deg driver for a year now. I get a lower trajectory than a 10.5 neutral driver mainly because I tee the ball about 1 1/2" and the draw face. I also use a closed stance on my driver and fairway wood (promotes an inside-out swing path). I carried a Ping G2 10.5 deg neutral driver for 2 years and my strong shot was a 240 yard power fade (I would aim on the left side of the fairway and end up right- center). My perfectly straight shot was way too high. I can hit a stiff shaft dead straight but I lose a bit of distance. I picked up a Burner HT loft M flex draw driver and first trip to the driving range was impressive because I was hitting dead straight drives close to 250 yards. I later found out it was 13 deg senior flex (probably more like borderline regular since the previous owner cut it 45"). I've been finding the center of the fairway pretty consistent and my worst shot may end up on the right edge. My longest distance is with a left-center shot (270 yards).

If you think it is a swing problem you are probably doing what everyone else said and coming over the top. This is caused by starting the downswing with your shoulders and opening your body too early. Don't try to start the downswing with your hips that will just get the club stuck behind you so your shots will start right and end right. Instead once you get to the top of your swing have yours arms and hands fall straight down to your right side. Then you can rotate your body but your arms have to be in front of you first. So pretty much dont start your hips and body until your arms are in front of you.

The trigger for the downswing is the back foot starting to come off the ground and the bumping of the hips. When you finish, your belt buckle should be pointed at the target. If you overdo the hips, the result would be as described (a blocked shot).

Hi Sam I visited a Titleist demo day loacally and was fitted by the rep for a C-3 setting to cure my slice. Suggest you try and find when a demo day is your area and have an expert fit you. Takes the guessing out of the picture. Good luck. John

Sam,

You are correct by using those positions to help offset your slice.  Just make sure that when get fit for this driver, if you decide to go A3 setting, you will make whatever loft you get +1.5* more.  This will also add to the spin rate, which plays a big part of that slice.  I don't know your launch, but I would use a low loft, at that setting, with a somewhat firm tip stiff shaft as a starting point.  This way the Fitter you work with will be able to guide you into the right shaft and eliminate the ones that may be to tip stiff, heavy, low launching....
