HELP with golf swing slice off the tee?
ByEarlier this year i went to a golf pro and got help with my driving and my slice was gone and could hit a straight long drive allmost every time. Then i didn’t play for about 2 weeks and now i can’t hit my driver if my life depednded on it. Every time it goes about 200 yards and a million yards to the right i used to hit it about 250. I can hit my 3 wood straight but not my driver i have tried everything do u guys have any tips?
There’s numerous things that can be causing your slice. If you’re hitting the 3-wood straight but not your driver, I have to wonder if you’re "overswinging"? Often when people hit a driver, they want to try to kill it, as it’s supposed to be the longest club — so it’s a common mistake.
First, as always, check your grip, alignment, and ball-position. If all of these are spot-on, then it’s time to check your swing.
Next, check to make sure you aren’t over-rotating on the backswing. The best way to do this is to take some 3/4 backswings then follow-through. Still make your normal acceleration through the ball (swing aggressively as you normally would). See if there’s any difference in ball-flight using this partial backswing.
Then, make sure you aren’t muscling it on the downswing. Trying to muscle it (swinging with your arms) can often cause an outside-to-inside swing path which will cause a slice. Rotate with your legs and hips and let your arms just lag behind, and take a nice easy follow-through. Again see if there is any difference in ball flight.
If your grip/alignment/ball position are all correct, and you are still slicing the ball with a 3/4 backswing and a passive downswing/follow-through, then you’ll have to look at the other common causes of slices — i.e. lead-shoulder dip on backswing, outside-to-inside path on downswing, improper weight-shift, not releasing the club head properly through the impact zone.
Don’t let your right arm straighten before impact!

if your extreme slice reaches more than 200 yards, you might be trying to swing too hard.
try to swing easy and remember to have your right elbow closer to your rib cage. try anthony kim’s 3/4 backswing and grip down about 2 inches to encourage crisp contact. your follow through should be a smooth continuation of your down swing. try some different shaft lengths and flex for your driver and evaluate the results. hope this helps.

personal experience from a former "extreme slicer"
Simple – "leave the driver in the bag."
Biggest mistake I see repeated is every golfer, that doesn’t put in the time neccessary to hit the bigdog straight repeatedly, automatically reaches for their driver on every hole longer than a par-3. And even the pros don’t do that.
Every few years GolfDigest or one of the other golf magazines does an article where they compare golfers of varying levels of expertise and have them hit several shots using their driver and a fairway wood. In almost every case the golfers, men and women, young and old, high and low handicapper, not only hit their 3-woods straighter on average than they hit their driver – but they also hit their 3-woods FURTHER.
