A slice is caused by an out to in swing I know I have one. Trevino made millions with a "fade" which is a controlled slice. Playing the ball to far forward in your stance is bad. By the time the club head reaches the ball it just slices across the ball so move the ball back opposite your left heel. Drop your right foot back to a somewhat closed stance. Point the V's of your hands so they point to your right shoulder. Slicing is caused by cutting across the ball which is caused because start the downswing with your upper body which "throws the club at the ball cutting across it. Practice starting the downswing with your hips first then shoulders most slicers do the opposite. You willbe a fader all your life so learn to live with it and aim plenty left all the time and work the ball left to right. One last thing,the more loft you have on your driver the less the ball will slice. Try like a 12 degree driver and you'll see a difference. Look on ebay for such a driver. Don't spend a lot of money maybe go to a Play it again store. I would also look at a brand of driver called "The Perfect Club" Look on ebay for this club. The reason O recommend the perfect club is because it has alot of built in anti-slicing technology built into the club. I've seen drivers up to 14 degrees which really help. You can always use a 3 wood and you only lose about 15 yards but at least you'll be in the fairway. Good luck I've been there.

One thing you can do that usually works for a quick fix for a slice is to move your left foot forward a bit in your stance. This forces your clubface to close on impact and should create a straighter ball flight. If done to an extreme you might even find that your ball flight will have a slight draw to it. If this doesn't work try strengthening your grip with your left hand. Put your left hand over to the right more on the grip. This too make the clubface more square. I hope this helps

Quick fix is to move the ball slightly to the front at address. Otherwise, you'll need to fix your swing all together. Go to the pro. Practice wouldn't help if you have a faulty swing, you'd only repeat you mistake.

You are slicing because your clubhead, instead of coming into the ball on a square in to out path in relation to your body, is traveling on an out to in path in relation to your body and delivering a glancing blow, instead of a square blow, to the ball.
The causes of this are not turning your shoulders fully on the backswing, lunging at the ball from the top of your back swing with your shoulders first before your hands and arms begin to drop downwardly, and failing to start to shift your weight towards your left foot before you start to turn your shoulders back towards the ball. Your head must remain behind the ball until it is struck.
The right sequence, after you fully turn your shoulders away from the ball, from the top of your backswing is to keep your shoulders turned as you drop your right elbow towards your hip while you are shifting your weight towards your left leg and then allowing your shoulders to follow your hands and arms as they swing the club through the ball. Your head must remain behind the ball until it is truck.
Sometimes just attempting to hold your shoulders back at the top of the swing as you swing the club downwardly through the ball will accomplish the same thing. Also, you can imagine a clock face with the ball in the middle and the 12 pointing at the target. Swing from the 7 in your backswing through the 1 in your downswing.
If you are hitting a push slice with the ball starting right and then turning more right, your swing path is OK an dyou just need to rotate your hands in small increments clockwise on the grip until you stop doing it.

try this: at impact, turn your wrist counter-clockwise so that it closes up the clubface.
note: this may add distance to your shots as well as create a slight draw
