I currently am using a Taylor Made 360Ti and although this driver has a huge face, I notice a convex(?) curve in the face that seems more pronounced than other drivers. Could this be causing my ball to slice more than usual? Why is the shape of the face built like this? Would it help those who are better golfers shape their shots better? Finally, is there a driver out there that is built specifically for the beginner who may have a natural tendency to slice.

Please advise, thanks.

Are you using a stiff flex shaft or regular?

This shaft is regular flex. Do you think it could be that I'm swinging too hard for the flex and the clubface is not making it around?

Use a 3 wood, I have talked to quite a few good sub 80 golfers that suggest not hitting a driver untill you have played a few years and gotten a comfertable automatic swing. The curved face of the driver is standered, it helps the ball go straighter on off center hits.

The reson you want to use a 3 wood instead of a driver is simple physics, the ball cant spin in two directions at once and the loft of the 3 wood will impart backspin. Since the slice is usualy caused by hitting the ball outside to in and giving it a right spin the backspin will help control some of that.

I'm new to the game myself and have asked quite a few people about my own slice. This advice has helped me have more fun and lower my scores.

I have only been playing golf for a year now and have recieved some coaching from a few different pros through my school.

I agree with with using a 3 wood as they help to stop the side turning but if you insist on using your driver make sure your arms are always infront of your body during your backswing and follow through.

This helps to make the club face square at impact. It fixed my slicing problem and now i mostly hit a slight right to left shot

I just bought the taylor made 360 ti 8.5 degree I have a slice on my ohter driver not with this one though the higher degree of loft= more spin when you use the club try cholking up on it

This might sound over-simplified.....but the best advice I ever got to cure slicing my driver was to tee the ball up higher ever so slightly until you start hitting straight...look how the ball draws or hooks right to left when it's above your feet and fades or slices when below your feet..it's all about lie angle...as driving the ball is over such a long distance any fade or slice is exaggerated...adjusting the height of your ball on the tee even fractionally makes a huge difference. I found by raising the ball I have straightened my drives to the point where maybe 85% are straight with a slight fade....

Good luck.
