I started to develop a little slice in my driving. I cant get it to go straight. Any ideas.

The emergency fix is always strengthening the top hand grip...lefty if you play righty.
John LDewey, OK
relaxe the grip and swing easy you might be trying to over power the swing and in turn pushing the club out on the down swing couseing the out side to in swing or B you could be leaving the club face open at impact. due to the lack of a proper fallow threw. Is it a slice that starts right and goes right or starts left and goes right.
well actually it starts left and goes right. Im left handed.

If you are left handed, isn't "start left and goes right" a draw for you?
Spencer KFargo, ND
It sounds like you actually have a draw going on which is much more preferable than a slice. I am also left handed and play a slight draw. I would say that a slight inside to out swing is causing your draw.
A quick drill to help correct this would be to place a head cover an inch or two outside of your ball and a couple inches ahead of the ball. When you swing make sure to not hit the head cover on the way through. The same can be done for a slice but move the head cover behind the ball instead of in front.
Hopes this helps
no it starts right and goes left
OK then you are for sure slicing the ball. Most likely caused by coming outside in, over the top, to steep, however you want to word it. The drill I provided in my previous post works both ways depending on where you place the club cover. If you place the cover a couple inches outside of the ball and a few inches behind it should help produce a more desirable swing arc. You would be surprised what a soft item blocking you from coming over the top can do.
ok thanks!

you might be trying to hit it too hard or you are getting too upright goodluck
