Close your stance (move your front foot towards the ball) and open your club face move the ball forward in your stance. The ball does the opposite that the club does...swing down to make the ball go up. Your slice results from the club striking the ball and making it spin off the face in the direction of your slice. Many people open their stance to try to correct a slice not realizing that it does the opposite. The angle the club face is at when it strikes the ball determines what happens to the ball in flight.

There are a number of factors incorporated into a swing . First is the stance . Second the grip and last but not the least the way you position your self towards the direction of the target . One great golf teacher by the name of Harvey Pennick once said the solution to a slice is to get the golfer to hit a hook . From then on it will be easier to correct . Try this solution . In stance position make sure the ball stays approximately in the middle of your two feet . Move your left foot a couple of inches back so it will not be in line . Lessen to grip on your club to an inch or two . On your downswing let your left arm power your club as your right guides your shot .

Take a lesson from a qualified pro. Todays tehnology can tape your swing, analyze it and a pro will work with you. There are so many little things that most people dont notice - but a trained eye will. I have been golfing since the age of 4 - had a slice until I was 16, then it reappeared when I grew 6 inches and gained 50 pounds 5 or 6 years later.
My solution was a combination of stance, ball position, and contact point - but everyones is different.
And FYI - every single pro both uses a swing coach and is constantly changing due to their body changes.

A slice is caused by an open club face when striking the ball relative to the target line. Before closing your stance to try and fix the problem, I would first make sure that your grip is correct. Make sure that the v formed by your hands when grasping the club are lined up and pointing at your right shoulder. Also make sure that you are not gripping the club too tightly. Relax your hands so that the club head easily turns over through impact. If your grips are worn on your club, it makes it difficult to keep the club from spinning in your hands at the grip pressure necessary to allow a free release. I would also make sure that your body is in line with your hips at address.
