Driver that fixes slices

What Driver could I use to reduce or correct my slice? Offset drivers?

I am a frim believer in NOT buying gimmicky balls, or clubs that claim to remedy a problem.

The swing should be corrected instead of the equipment.... That being said I play with a offset driver( only because I got it for $20 in the used bin at Golfsmith)...I can slice just fine with it...

I used to have a TM R7 Draw 10.5 loft and I hit em straight. But now I have a 9.0 Callaway BB 2004 and I'm slicing the heck out of it.

lower loft makes a diff......what are the shaft specs? Could be lagging behind too much.

Remember...an open clubface is an open face....no amount of offset will help with that...I don't notice a diff with my offset, other than the mental side of it....which might give me more confidence

R-Flex on the TM R7 Draw and Firm Flex on the slicing Callaway BB 2004.

Draw bias drivers help.

I personally think you should correct your swing vs compensate for a flaw via technology. In most cases if you slice its because you are leaving the clubface open at impact.. It could be your grip, your outside in approach, you're not hitting it square etc. stuff you may already know and just dont want to work on, so.... if open clubface is the problem, go to a more closed face driver with more loft. It seems like Taylor Made has a closed face on everything they make these days. The TP is the open straight madel for them, so i'd steer clear of anything TP. The Burner is more closed by design but you can go to a Draw model thats even more closed if you need it. I like the Burner a lot.

Thanks! I'll try whatever it takes to fix this slice! I played today as well as last week and if I only hit my drives straight, I could've shaved 10+ strokes off my game.

I had the exact same '04 BB and had trouble hitting it straight as well...my next purchase was a TaylorMade R5 Dual, draw weighted 10.5* and it was the best golf purchase I have made...great club. While draw weighted clubs help, they do not usually completely eliminate your slice (you will have to work on swing mechanics as well). But they can generally take a nasty slice and make it more of a controllable fade. Draw weighted clubs certainly helped me out in the beginning.

Try to imagine a towel under your right arm. Don't let it drop when you swing... you should try to rotate that much or close to it.

This could be a source of the problem - combination of too low loft on driver and too stiff shaft. Just from what I read when googling shaft flex choice...

The 10.5 Reg flex worked well, while 9 deg firm goes right. Too flexible shaft - ball goes left Too stiff - ball goes right I am looking to get onto a launch monitor to verify my swing etc to see if a new driver shaft would work well for me as I currently slice badly (would be looking at getting a R flex shaft to replace the YS6+ stiff)

2 things help me control my slice. 1) Moving the ball a little more forward in my stance and 2) Not over-swinging. I hit the ball straighter and just as long with a smooth easy swing than if I try to knock the cover off.

Any R7 with 4 weights will do the trick. But remember to buy extra weights to help you out--you can load a 12 12 4 4 to make your slice all but disappear.If your slice continues i would just buy extra weights on ebay or something like that.. I wish you all the best

Again with the hyperbole. It's quite possible to slice with any driver, and I think golfers would benefit from fixing their swing rather than relying on technology to help them.

An r7 can only go so far. Some people slice more than it can handle. Most people, I would say.

THE IDEA THAT A CLUB HEAD CAN STOP A SLICE IS FANCIFUL....if you want to minimise a slice get a harder shaft.

if you' re slicing a driver you must be slicing the rest of your clubs.

buy some lessons not expensive gismos that do nothing for you in the end.

[Wisco-Kid]

You could always try a "less spin" ball. The Bridgestone e6 has gotten good reviews and was designed to minimize spin to reduce slices and hooks. Buying a ball is alot cheaper then buying a driver. Of course this suggestion is a stop gap until you figure out what is actually causing your slice....

I think it's indian not the arrow.

Do you want to learn to Never Slice Again? The key is not the club. You have to fix the club-face at impact first, then if needed the path.

Gimmicks will sell clubs, but they won't really make you a better golfer. I'd post a great document but the attachments limits here are too low, pm me and I'll email it to you.

Try the new Taylormade MAX driver. Almost impossble to slice.
