So you want to eliminate that pesky slice off the tee. Linking up with a knowledgeable instructor is a surefire way to help straighten out one of the most common misses. Another option is taking a closer look at the driver in your bag. If it’s an adjustable offering, moving weight around and reconfiguring the loft sleeve could make a world of difference.
But what if, unbeknownst to you, the driver in you’re bag is designed for a fade instead of a draw shot shape? It could make things that much harder to get rid of your slice. If you didn’t know by now, manufacturers have been developing draw-biased drivers with the help of offset and weighting in the heel to help straighten out even the biggest miss.
As we saw during recent robotic testing with Golf Laboratories’ swing robot, there’s a crop of drivers out there that can definitely help you straighten out your slice. Below are five models worthy of additional testing.
