I have a god short and mid game and drive well with irons, but slice with my driver. What ball might help reduce the slice a little? I was thinking about a Maxfli NOODLE.

Dear David,
If you have a good short and mid-game, the ball will not help you much with the slice. It's a driver fault. At this point, if you're beginning, whatever you can pick up from the pro shop or department store that's on sale and / or inexpensive will be fine. Try the Precept Laddie.

The ball won't matter too much when you are beginning but there are balls with hard, soft and mid covers. The hard covers give better distance (which everyone wants new and old alike) but will spin less than a softer cover. The spin allows you to stop the ball on the green which probably won't be your first concern as a beginner. The spin will also make the ball go more right or left (hook or slice) which is a major concern. I would start out with a hard ball and later enjoy the feel of a softer ball with more spin.
The Maxfli Noodle is a softer ball (long and soft) so it will have more spin but it's a good ball. I love Maxfli.

It's not the ball causing the slice. Check out your driver. The flex or kick point of the shaft can be causing your slice. Get fitted at your local golf retailer

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's your driver. Does it have a graphite or steel shaft??? Steel would probably be better. Graphite has too much of a give. Good luck!!

Seriously, nothing too expensive with that slice of yours.
