Right handed golfer. I have a terrible slice with my driver. Has anyone had that problem/What did the trick for fixing it?

You need a lesson to figure out how to fix it.

The physics of a slice is you’re hitting with an open face and outside-in swing path. This could be caused by a number of different issues (e.g. grip, alignment, stance, back swing, tempo, etc.) so you need to get a lesson to really understand what’s happening and how to fix it.

Def not a fitting issue.

Left Hip turn coupled with hand/wrist position at impact, you probably need to take a few lessons.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Gonna get lessons

Number of options:
1) Grip: you’re gripping the club in an open position.
2) You’re rotating club the club open on a backswing
3) Your stance is open

You might want to film yourself while doing chipping. It’s easier to notice what’s wrong when you’re not doing the full swing.
If all of the above is ok, you might change your stance/balance on a backswing.

Agreed that filming your swing makes a huge difference. My brain thought I was doing one thing and seeing myself do it wrong was very helpful. 1 and 2 were my issues. I was able to correct it without lessons.

I had the same problem for years. My driver was many years old. So I went to get a fitting at Golf Galaxy back in Jan. Pro reccomended a senior shaft, 10.5, on a Callaway Epic Max. Im hitting 90% of them straight with at least a 220+ yard carry.

The thing about a "senior" shaft is, its not really for seniors. Thats what a pro told me. I have no idea why they call it that. I'm 42, but hey it works and has done wonders for my long game.

I doubt fitting would change much. If you are slicing, that means you are hitting across the ball.

I know it’s counterintuitive but try to feel like you are hitting the ball to your right so that it feels like your hands end up above you rather than wrapping your body….

Lol - have a lesson or two pal - v unlikely to be a fitting issue

push slice, pull slice, or something else?

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars
