Instead of buying a new driver....Invest a few dollars in lessons to correct the swing flaws that are causing your slice. Its not the equipment .......its the swing.

Stiff clubs are less forgiving. If you are a beginner you probably would do better with regular flex. There are a lot of drivers made to combat a slice--try the TaylorMade R7 draw for one. You should be able to go to a local shop and try several different drivers, and you will be able to tell which one works best for you. It might help to take a lesson too--clubs don't fix all the problems, but a good lesson might.

Nike SasQuatch Sumo Square, or Taylor Made R7 Draw, in any case, if you have incurable slice, just changing your wrist hinge will cure it instantly. You can hit draw, hook, fade or slice just due to the wrist hinge.
For beginners with slow swing speed (up to 90 mph) regular flex is good as it gives you additional height off the tee thus distance, for faster speed, it's harder to control regular flex, thus the better player chooses stiffer flex, as they want more control.

well here a couple of things:
a regular flex club is for people with 90-100 mph swing speeds.
a stiff flex club is for people with 100-110 mph swing speeds.
you may also try a draw biased club with weights. try a taylormade at the range

ok well first of all you should get a regular flex as for the slice the ping g5 offset would be a good choice or even the taylormade r7 draw
hope this helps

While having all of these upgrades are great and will help with distance they will not prevent a Slice. You need to impact the ball square in order to prevent a slice.

You could spend $300 on a new driver or you could spend $300 to get professional coaching for a few hours.
Which do you think will benifit you the most?

Try keeping your front arm straight as you swing, then it will not matter what club you have.
