How to Fix Slicing Driver But Not Irons: Tips for Straightening Your Shots

Many golfers find themselves baffled by a common conundrum: they hit their irons beautifully but consistently slice their driver.

This frustrating inconsistency can ruin scores and dampen the enjoyment of a round. Understanding why this happens is the first step to improving your game.

The driver, with its minimal loft and longer shaft, requires a different approach than your irons. It’s the only club where the ball is teed up, and the objective is to hit up on the ball.

These unique characteristics make it the club golfers are most likely to slice. By identifying and adjusting for these differences, you can start to eliminate those pesky slices and regain control over your drives.
