Does a thicker grip make you slice???

Is your previous (straighter) driver draw-biased or otherwise a closed face? Is this one open-faced?

Another odd thing that happens sometimes is a good player gets a draw-biased club, and instinctively opens the face so it looks neutral, but this actually throws the playing characteristics off enough to produce a slice.

I wouldn't think the thicker grips alone would cause a slice but they would definitely alter how your hand movements relate to clubhead movement and/or how the club is aligning in your hands. Could also be the shaft, etc. Who knows? Golf gives no answers.

I think this was covered already - gratuitous punctuation is causing your slice.

lol - ahh yes, but we have yet to determine if it was the excessive punctuation or the lack of a subject noun in any part of the original post that is causing the odd ball flight.

Yes, if it is too big it can make it harder for your right hand to release properly through impact, causing a slice or push.

For me the opposite was true. I have long fingers and the standard grip is too small. This caused me to grip too hard to maintain control. When I switched to mid size grips, I could grip lightly, especially with the right hand. My misses now are usually over draws.
