Dammit. Last spring I had a very bad slice on my drives. I got rid of it during the summer and it seemed to stay away for the time being i didnt golf very much in the fall but it wasn't there when i did. When i say slice i mean very very very bad slice about 50 yards to the right if i aim right down the fairway. I have talked to people about my swing and I have a normal swing and there is not a lot wrong with it. The only explination could be my strength, weight or driver. I gained about 20 pounds since I got this driver a year and a half ago (im not fat just getting stronger and growing). It is a nike SQ 5000 with a ladies flex. Remember I was younger and weaker when I bought this. I do not know if I am swinging too hard or if the flex has anything to do with it. Anything you know about how to fix a slice, please tell me I will listen to anything and I will try it. Thanks a ton and hopefully you guys can help me out here.

If I aim left it will start left then just slice like a mother and end up in the trees or rough on the right side but if i start facing the fairway straight on it will slice a little bit to the right and then just pick up and fly to the right it is terrible.

Okay, you're probably sliding on the ball.

At address is the ball positioned forward in your stance (in line with your left heel) or more centered?

Without seeing your swing this is just a guess of course but if you're starting the ball while lined up down the middle to the middle right then slicing I'd say that you have the ball just a bit more centered in your stance and you're sliding your weight forward ahead of the ball at impact. The ball a bit farther back is the cause of the push or mini-block and the slice is an open club face certainly suggesting your weight is ahead of the ball at impact and your club face is still open at impact.

Stand against your couch with you left leg in your living room (if possible) and swing a wedge. The couch will prevent you from sliding ahead of your initial position and see if the feeling is different than your normal swing. If you feel constricted then you're probably sliding forward at impact causing the club head to lag behind and be open at impact.

I slice because I tend to dip my right shoulder in the downswing and don't release the club. Bad habit from years of being told to swing inside-out to avoid a slice !

      At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.

      So, last night was the first night of golf league. First tee I stuck in the ground this year. First time hitting a ball off the grass. Left my putter on my indoor putting mat in the office so I was able to borrow one of my pal's spare putters. I putted poorly, but not the putters fault. Took me forever to realize the greens were very very slow. We've had tons of rain and the greens were downright furry. I also went from my car to the clubhouse to the first tee. No warm up.  It took me a bit to get it going. But finished solid. I think I had four penalty strokes in the first 5 holes.
