Slicing driver

[oO J4M3S Oo]

Ok, I just went down the range for a couple of hours and tried everything. I managed to hit 1 out of 100 straight. I might just put the driver away for a couple of months... Would this help? Or just make the problem worse?

I'm new to the game...so I don't really know anything yet, but I can tell you what helped me.

I was at the range and a girl stepped into the opening directly in front of me.  She was a little bitty blonde, maybe 110 pounds.  She was DIALED in...hitting 250 yard drives straight as an arrow.  Anyway, she finished up, and turned around and said hi.  I asked her to tell me how she was able to hit so straight.  Long story short, she has played since age 3, and played collegiate golf until this spring.  She showed me a simple grip change that straightened me out from the first swing.  Basically, brought both my hands over top of the grip...so if I released the club it would drop to the ground.  (Before, if I had opened my hands, the club would rest still in my hands.)  She also had me keep my thumbs trapped to my hands.  Anyway, mabye a bad description...if you feel that pictures would be helpful, LMK.

That would be helpful if you wouldn't mind.

I'd like to see pictures of the little blonde!  Those could be helpful!

I concur...we need pictures of the blonde in order to appropriately address the OP's slice

I'll try to get my phone to take pix here in a minute.  I could link in some pics of the chica...but that seems a little creepy!!!  Life changer.

This video will really help you with your slice. He also has a video "Stop slicing with Driver" that you should look for. I keep pushing his videos on the forums and like everybody else, including myself, they find his videos very clear and easy to follow.

No problem!  It's a bit weird at first; definitely takes some getting used to.  But the concept makes sense and the results have been, at least for me, very positive.

check your alignment too.... my guess is when your rolling your hands through and you pull it and hit it straight, it's most likely not a pull, and just your aiming there. and if your aiming there and your clubface isnt... your slicing it.
