l can not seem to get away from slicing my ball off the tee.l use a TaylorMade stiff Burner and slice most every drive.Is my form most likely the culprit or is there something else l might be doing wrong?

Try moving the ball back in your stance. Make sure your grip has the Vs of your thumbs and first fingers pointing to your right shoulder (if right handed). Make sure you are releasing the club and rotating your arms on the follow through. Check your take away and ensure you are bringing the club on an inside out swing path - square up and think about the clubhead going out to right center field. All else fails, get a lesson.

Yes everything Pat B above said, also check your swing speed if you are progressing thru to fast you are not hitting the ball the right way, also try opening your club face a bit.

also make sureyou refrain from that ''flying elbow'' keep your right elbow(if right-handed) in close to your body to avoid from swinging''inside out''...and if that doesnt work, try a weak grip.those Burners are real good clubs.some of the better ones ive tried recently...im kind of a slicer but with the burner l had a medium fade..so l would think its probably your form..maybe the wrong shaft?

It is really hard to say without seeing ur swing. This season l took some lessons from a good pro in my area. 3 lessons were $90. It was money well spent. l am a self-taught golfer who has struggled for YEARS! If l would've taken these lessons long ago, the game would've been much more enjoyable.like it is this summer.

In my case, the pro could immediately see that the clubface was open at impact because l was not rolling my wrists. l was not releasing the club. Initially it was frustrating making the necessary changes, but with practice I've almost eliminated the slice. It pops up every now & then, but at least l know how to fix it from the knowledge l gained from my lessons.

take your normal left hand grip, and make it a little strong so you can see 3 knuckles, then bring your right hand in from the side, not from the top.

This helped me. hopefully it can help you. First, go thru ur normal routine like ur going to hit the ball. Then relax, stand straight, close ur eyes & extend the club so it is straight out in front of you. Open ur eye & notice the club face, this will show were ur club face is during impact. l use to think at address l was all square, but after duing this l found out my club face was wide open at impact.

To fix this l now hold the club straight in front of me holding it with my right hand. l rotate the club face to 11:00, grip it with my left hand, & then l grip it with my right & so the palms r facing each other. Now this will feel akward at address, like the club face is too closed. The next step is to maintain ur grip & square the club face to the ball. This should straighten ur left arm, u should notice the V is pointing to ur right shoulder like everybody talks about, & this should also force u to swing inside out. Good luck!!!

Hook it.

Try an overcompensation drill that promotes a hook using the big muscles of the body.

In order to achieve a slice, u r hitting AT the ball coming from the outside of the target line to the inside of the target line.

Now in order to be able to get rid of the slice, u must first imagine what someone who always hooks the ball does with every swing:

1. They swing thru the ball from inside the target line to outside the target line.

2. Their lower body does much less just before impact than a slicer is lower body. Visualize swinging into a solid left side (like a tiny brick wall that goes from ur left hip down to ur left foot). Rotate ur upper body thru the ball, & u should see the toe of the clubhead pointing toward the sky by the time the club is at waist height. Golfers who duck hook the ball struggle with this constantly - getting the left side to keep moving.

If u would like more info/detail or if u have any other questions, please visit me at freewebs.com/egolf.

keep the ball in the front of your stance (if you are a righty, close to your left foot), NOT THE BACK!

If you place your ball to the back then you wont get as much power that you can get with the driver.

Relax, keep your head still dont move it! (or your entire golf swing will move odly), and swing naturally

(come slower to the top of your swing and come through with a lot of power)

l had the same problem

A slice is caued by an out to in swig path AND an open clubface through impact.
You need to change on or the other to get rid of a clice, both if you want to draw the ball.
