My driver loved to throw in more than the odd slice in a round so i can sympathise with your predicament. What i was doing "i think" was swinging far too much with the arms and not popping the hips through on the downswing at impact. I have tried to get more body turn over recent weeks with less emphasis on the arms and my drives have been a revelation. Far straighter and more distance. Im not sure what i have done is text book im sure Bob will know whether being to "armsy" contributed to a slice but it has worked for me.
